The Left’s march through Western institutions in the forms of DEI/CRT, “social justice”, and all manner of woo-woo wokeism has consequences. Let’s take schools of medicine for $200, Alex.
One of the premier medical schools, UCLA’s David Geffen School of Medicine, is failing.
Up to half of UCLA medical students now fail basic tests of medical competence. Whistleblowers say affirmative action, illegal in California since 1996, is to blame.
Lucero isn’t just heading up admissions but is also chairing for DEI. You know, the racially-charged programs that are anti-white, anti-Asian (and increasingly anti-Jew) at a premier educational institution in a state that barred affirmative action via Proposition 209 since 1996. Her shennigans, outbursts and bullying of dissenters has gotten so bad that whistleblowers are trying to get public attention where appeals to the university are ignored.
“I wouldn’t normally talk to a reporter,” a UCLA faculty member said. “But there’s no way to stop this without embarrassing the medical school.”
Within three years of Lucero’s hiring in 2020, UCLA dropped from 6th to 18th place in U.S. News & World Report’s rankings for medical research. And in some of the cohorts she admitted, more than 50 percent of students failed standardized tests on emergency medicine, family medicine, internal medicine, and pediatrics.
