SUNY Buffalo Med School faces discrimination complaint over ‘historically underrepresented’ student programBy Carl Campanile

A self-described anti-racism group has filed a federal civil-rights complaint against the State University of New York’s Buffalo of Medicine for running a science prep program that gives preference to “historically underrepresented” students over whites and Asians.
The complaint centers on SUNY Buffalo Med Schools’ year-round Medical Science Technology Entry Program for high school students and its Middle School Summer Enrichment Program for 7th and 8th graders.
The programs give admission preference to high school and middle school students who identify as “Black/African-American,” “American Indian/Alaska Native,” and “Hispanic/ Latino.”
“It is teaching youth that treating people differently based on race and color is acceptable. But such discrimination never is acceptable, and SUNY Buffalo needs to lead by example,” said William Jacobson, founder of the Equal Protection Project of the Legal Insurrection Foundation.
