‘Failed Medical School’: whistleblowers say UCLA lowered standards for minorities

Aaron Sibarium, reporter for the Free Beacon, reported on the UCLA medical school whistleblowers who accused the school of lowering standards for minority applicants. In other words, no longer taking the best of the best, but instead taking just about anyone so they look more diverse. I don’t know about you, but I don’t care what ethnicity a  doctor is – I just want them to be the expert, the best, the most talented  doctors. Diversity is not important in any field, ever.

Aaron said on X: “scoop: Whistleblowers at UCLA medical school say it has dramatically lowered admissions standards for minority applicants. As a result, they say, 50% of some cohorts now fail basic tests of medical competence. We’ve obtained shocking internal data.” A snippet from Aaron’s report with data/information from insiders at UCLA said the following:

This story is based on written correspondence between UCLA officials, internal data on student performance, and interviews with eight professors at the medical school—six of whom have worked with or under Lucero on medical student and residency admissions.

Together, they provide an unprecedented account of how racial preferences, outlawed in California since 1996, have nonetheless continued, upending academic standards at one of the top medical schools in the country. The school has consequently taken a hit in the rankings and seen a sharp rise in the number of students failing basic standardized tests, raising concerns about their clinical competence.

“I have students on their rotation who don’t know anything,” a member of the admissions committee told the Free Beacon. “People get in and they struggle.”

The need to increase diversity needs to end. Lowering standards for the sake of diversity is the dumbest thing we have ever seen in our lifetime. We should raise standards and encourage people to become experts in what they do, not lower standards to look WOKE and then produce failures. UCLA graduates who are serious about their career should immediately transfer to a more serious school.
