Make Med School White Again
Notes de l’épisode
Trump’s Department of Justice says the medical school at the University of California, San Francisco, discriminated against white and Asian applicants, and it’s giving the school until October 2 to enter into a voluntary resolution agreement or get sued. Imani Gandy breaks down the DOJ’s claims, including its attack on application essays asking students how race shaped their lives, which Chief Justice John Roberts expressly left legal when the Supreme Court ended affirmative action in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard. Then, she explains who pays when fewer Black and Native students become doctors: pregnant people in maternity-care deserts, Black patients whose pain gets dismissed, and anyone already waiting months to see someone.
