Texas medical schools accused of bias against white, Asian men
Article here. Excerpt:
'A lawsuit filed Tuesday accuses six state-run medical schools in Texas of violating federal anti-discrimination laws by giving preferences to female and non-Asian minority applicants.
The lawsuit by George Stewart, a white man who was denied admission to the schools, is the latest challenge to affirmative action policies that are commonly used by U.S. schools to boost enrollment of Black, Hispanic and female students.
...
According to the lawsuit, Stewart in 2021 obtained enrollment data for the six schools after he was denied admission.
Stewart alleged that the data revealed that Black, Hispanic and female students at the schools had significantly lower grade-point averages or test scores than white, Asian and male students. Stewart said in the complaint that the data showed that the schools gave preferences to female and non-Asian minority applicants.
Stewart accused the schools of violating federal laws prohibiting race and sex discrimination in federally funded educational programs.'
