Do No Harm, et al. v. David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, et al.

For years, UCLA’s David Geffen School of Medicine has flouted the law and engaged in flagrant racial discrimination in its admissions decisions.

Under the guise of “holistic” review, UCLA requires applicants to submit personal information, which is then reviewed by admissions officials to determine the applicants’ race. Admissions officials openly discuss using race or racial proxies as a determinative factor in admissions decisions. White and Asian applicants are severely underrepresented as matriculants as a result.

Not only is this practice immoral, it is illegal.

That’s why Do No Harm filed a class action lawsuit against UCLA on behalf of a Do No Harm member who was unfairly denied admission to UCLA’s medical school.

All medical schools must abide by the law of the land and prioritize merit, not immutable characteristics, in admissions. This lawsuit will help ensure the Supreme Court’s decision is enforced, and that universities across the country think twice before trying to discriminate on the basis of race.

Do No Harm is holding UCLA accountable. No more will students have their dreams snatched away from them because of their race.
