Dr. Nche Zama, a cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon at Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital, who also ran for Pennsylvania governor in 2022, described the move by the UNC board as a “pivotal decision” that will be “applauded by some and rejected by others.”
“In the final analysis, it is a decision that is in the best interest of all our children who will come to appreciate that EXCELLENCE (not phenotypes or ethnicity) should be the ultimate standard in their lives,” he told Fox News Digital.
“The catastrophic failures in our educational system are predicated in many ways on a decades-old absence of a banner of excellence in the collective and individual learning experiences of many of our children who sadly, live in a cultural milieu that fosters a diabolically pervasive psychology, promoting self-hate, entitlement, and mediocre aspirations,” he added.
UNC is a heavyweight in the college world so I expect other schools and businesses to take notice.
