Medical Schools Are Still Discriminating by Race

Med schools like Old Dominion University’s have made no meaningful attempt to stop discriminating after the Supreme Court struck down affirmative action.

Now I know what they were hiding. Earlier this year, the state legislature fired me as a board member of Old Dominion University for asking questions about diversity, equity, and inclusion. The head of the board and the university president refused to let me meet with the dean of the medical school, who separately told me that his school allows different test scores for different groups of admitted students. I strongly suspected the medical school continued to practice the racial discrimination that the Supreme Court prohibited in 2023, but I was fired before I could discover the truth.

I was right. Old Dominion University is discriminating by race.
