Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine is Being Investigated for Violating Civil Rights

The Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) has opened an investigation against Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine for race-based discrimination.
The investigation is in response to a federal civil rights complaint filed by Do No Harm program manager Laura Morgan in August 2022. Eligibility criteria for the Diversity in Surgery Visiting Sub-Internship Program states that applicants must be “African American/Black, Hispanic/Latinx, American Indian/Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander.” This is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race.
Applicants are also required to submit a photo with their submission documents.

Awardees receive a stipend of up to $2,500 to cover the costs of travel and accommodations for the 4-week sub-internship.
