Woot, another big win for Trump!
Why couldn't previous administrations defend basic civil rights like this?
Racism is racism, and should never be allowed by any organization which takes any tax money.

It only took a few posts before a liberal made a racist comment!
I just hope that no one complains when all the seats are filled by Asians.

Good. Patients would like to know their doctor got through med schools on skill and merit, and not because the doc was accommodated for being the best of the underrepresented race/orientation/religion available at the time.

I for one would greatly prefer seeing doctors who were admitted to medical school strictly on their own competence.
Your life could literally depend on defeating Democrat racism.

And I think all the folks denied admission because of affirmative action are due reparations from affirmative action.
The Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, under pressure from the Department of Education, will no longer consider race as a factor in its medical school admissions process, according to an agreement signed by the health center’s president in February.
The agreement, which was reviewed by CNBC, comes nearly 14 years after the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights launched an investigation into whether the center’s admissions policies violated the Civil Rights Act’s prohibition on racial discrimination.

The agreement, which was reviewed by CNBC, comes nearly 14 years after the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights launched an investigation into whether the center’s admissions policies violated the Civil Rights Act’s prohibition on racial discrimination. The Office for Civil Rights is also investigating admissions practices at Harvard and Yale.
The move appears to be the first time the Trump administration has secured a commitment from a school to no longer consider race in admissions. The agreement requires that the school revise all of its admissions and recruitment materials by September. The pact’s existence was first reported by The Wall Street Journal.
The Trump administration has been hostile to affirmative action policies, which were encouraged under President Barack Obama. In July, the Departments of Justice and Education announced that they had scrapped Obama-era policy guidelines that called on schools to factor in the race of their applicants in order to achieve diversity.
“The Supreme Court has issued clear guidance on the appropriate consideration of race in college admissions,” Liz Hill, press secretary for the Education Department, said in a statement.
The Supreme Court has long upheld affirmative action under certain conditions and did so again recently in a 2016 case involving the University of Texas.
A representative for the medical school did not immediately provide comment.
