Litigation Content
Why This Matters:
Plaintiffs alleged that defendant medical school admissions processes involve impermissible racial balancing in violation of Fourteenth Amendment, Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, the 1866 Civil Rights Act, and the California Unruh Civil Rights Act.
Potential Impact
Limiting the tools that medical schools may use in their admissions policies hampers academic freedom and the creation of school environments that foster diversity of thought, ultimately negatively impacting medical practitioners’ ability to serve diverse populations.
