Do No Harm sues Defense Dept officials, University of Colorado, for allegedly discriminating against white applicants for medical scholarships

Non-profit advocacy group Do No Harm (DNH) recently filed a lawsuit against the Society of Military Orthopaedic Surgeons (SOMOS) on grounds that their E. Anthony Rankin Scholarship Program excludes white applicants from qualifying for the award.

The complaint centers around the particular case of “Member A,” an anonymous would-be applicant for the award who contacted DNH after learning that his racial background prevented him from receiving the scholarship.

“Member A was hurt and dismayed that SOMOS would use his race — which he cannot control — to preclude him from participating in the program and learning from some of the country’s most distinguished orthopaedic surgeons in service of our nation’s military and veteran communities,” the complaint states, according to Fox News.
