UCLA Medical School Students Failing Thanks To DEI Policies

Progressive policies on diversity, equity and inclusion could literally get people killed in the years to come.

That's not hyperbole, but the inevitable result of the insanity unfolding at the once prestigious medical school
at UCLA. Formerly ranked in the top-5 or top-6 in the country by U.S. News & World Report, UCLA has seen its
ranking drop dramatically, and thanks to a lengthy report by Aaron Sibarium at the Free Beacon, we now know
why.

Sibarium's investigation uncovered a pattern of DEI policies run amuck, thanks in large part to the school's dean
of admissions, Jennifer Lucero. Lucero, took over the admissions process in June 2020, as far left institutions like
UCLA were grappling with how best to incorporate delusional "anti-racism" ideology into schools.

And Lucero took that absurdity to a new level.

The standards of admissions for UCLA Medical School are as high as anywhere in the country…or at least they used
to be. But as two individuals on the admissions committee told Sibarium, Lucero worked hard to lower them for
specific individuals based on their race. Which is, of course, against the law.

When one black applicant didn't meet the criteria for admission, Lucero demanded she be admitted anyway.

"Did you not know African-American women are dying at a higher rate than everybody else?" Lucero said to an
admissions officer. "The candidate's scores shouldn't matter," she continued,  because "we need people like this in
the medical school."

And it gets much, much worse.

UCLA Medical School Discriminated Against White, Asian Applicants

When discussing how frequently Lucero applied race to admissions decisions, one admissions official reportedly
acknowledged that the standards were higher for white or Asian applicants.

"I wondered," the official said, "if this applicant had been [a] white male, or [an] Asian female for that matter,
[whether] we would have had that much discussion."
