UCLA medical school continues to use racial preferences: REPORT


The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) David Geffen School of Medicine appears to use racial preferences when selecting students to serve on the admissions committee, according to recently published documents. The internal policy was shared despite the federal government opening an investigation into the medical school for race-based discrimination less than two weeks prior.

Following the Free Beacon report, the nonprofit organization, Do No Harm, filed a class-action lawsuit against UCLA’s medical school for allegedly ignoring the Supreme Court’s decision against race-based affirmative action in the 2022 case, Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard.

“UCLA’s Geffen School of Medicine has continually treated the Students for Fair Admissions ruling as a recommendation, rather than a binding law handed down by the highest court in the land,” Dr. Stanley Goldfarb, chair of Do No Harm, told Fox News.

“Do No Harm is fighting for all the students who have been racially discriminated against by UCLA under the guise of political progress,” Goldfarb continued. “All medical schools must abide by the law of the land and prioritize merit, not immutable characteristics, in admissions.”
