Deans at the University of Colorado School of Medicine (CUSOM) expressed “disappointment” with the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling that race-based admissions policies are unconstitutional and affirmed in a statement they “remain fully committed to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion,” documents show.
Emails obtained by Do No Harm via Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests reveal that, on June 29, in response to the Court’s decision, Carol Rumack, M.D., CUSOM associate dean for the Graduate Medical Education (GME) community, sent a draft statement for review to Shanta Zimmer, M.D., senior associate dean for education and associate dean for diversity and inclusion, and Linda Montgomery, M.D., family medicine residency director.
