Diversity ™ Admissions Practices Wreck UCLA Medical School: Leaks From a Sinking Ship
To preface this disturbing treatise on UCLA medical school race-based admission policies, here’s a compelling human-interest story — the subject of which you may recognize as an Armageddon Prose fixture for her fidelitous, unending jihad on the English language and, in fact, reality itself from her unearned perch as White House Press Secretary — the one and only DEI labradoodle Karine Jean-Pierre.

Via Wikipedia (emphasis added):
“Jean-Pierre graduated from Kellenberg Memorial High School, a college-preparatory school on Long Island, in 1993. Her parents wanted her to study medicine, and she studied life sciences at the New York Institute of Technology as a commuter student, but performed poorly on the Medical College Admission Test. Changing career tracks, she earned a bachelor's degree from the New York Institute of Technology in 1997. She earned a Master of Public Affairs from the School of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University, in 2003, where she served in student government and decided to pursue politics.”
With the above context in mind — that Karine was considered quantifiably too stupid to study medicine circa 1993 — let’s now meditate upon what might have become of her medical school application to UCLA had she made it just a few decades later in the post-George Floyd era instead.
Via Washington Free Beacon (emphasis added):
“Long considered one of the best medical schools in the world, the University of California, Los Angeles's David Geffen School of Medicine receives as many as 14,000 applications a year. Of those, it accepted just 173 students in the 2023 admissions cycle, a record-low acceptance rate of 1.3 percent. The median matriculant took difficult science courses in college, earned a 3.8 GPA, and scored in the 88th percentile on the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT)…
When it came time for the admissions committee to consider one such student in November 2021—a black applicant with grades and test scores far below the UCLA average—some members of the committee felt that this particular candidate, based on the available evidence, was not the best fit for the top-tier medical school, according to two people present for the committee's meeting.
Their reservations were not well-received.
When an admissions officer voiced concern about the candidate, the two people said, the dean of admissions, Jennifer Lucero, exploded in anger.
‘Did you not know African-American women are dying at a higher rate than everybody else?’ Lucero asked the admissions officer, these people said. The candidate's scores shouldn't matter, she continued, because ‘we need people like this in the medical school.’”
The leaked anecdote above reportedly occurred in 2021, which begs the rhetorical question that some enterprising researcher should actually try to measure a real answer at some point: How many Karines are already out there or very close to being out there in their white robe costumes, ordained priestesses of the Biomedical Church, fully licensed to practice their voodoo-like medicine in the United States, dispensing guidance on literal matters of life and death and prescribing hard drugs to unsuspecting patients who still blindly believe that credentials lend actual authority?
How many Americans are already dead, or will be in short order, on account of steering an army of borderline-retarded Karines into the medical field?
More from Washington Free Beacon:
“Since Lucero took over medical school admissions in June 2020, several of her colleagues have asked the same question. In interviews with the Free Beacon and complaints to UCLA officials, including investigators in the university's Discrimination Prevention Office, faculty members with firsthand knowledge of the admissions process say it has prioritized diversity over merit, resulting in progressively less qualified classes that are now struggling to succeed.
Race-based admissions have turned UCLA into a ‘failed medical school,’ said one former member of the admissions staff. ‘We want racial diversity so badly, we're willing to cut corners to get it.’…
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.”
What’s the over/under on how long until UCLA abandons standardized testing altogether for the sake of Equity™?

One more reason to avoid doctors like the plague they are. The US supposedly has best healthcare in the world but looking at all the people I see picking up “meds” from the pharmacy tells me this is a very sick society. If healthcare involves diversity clowns and popping pills I’m good, count me out.
My brother was on the PhD transfer committee of his university in Scotland a few years back and they received an unusual request for someone to move from a highly prestigious US black university to finish her microbiology PhD in Scotland. The request was unusual because the person didn't want to give the reasons for her request in writing but wanted to come before the committee in person to give her reasons. The committee agreed to this and along she came.
She was a young French woman who had obtained a first class degree in France and had decided to do her PhD at a black university in the US to "show solidarity with the oppressed black people in the US". However on arriving at the "prestigious black university" she found all was not as "prestigious" as it should be. She was tasked with helping out with lab classes as many PhD students do and so she got a really good idea of which students were good and which were struggling and she was totally horrified that most students weren't bothering to turn up for classes and worse neither were their professors and yet these students most of whom she knew were incapable of passing their exams were being passed out with top marks. She realised the whole university was a grift and a fraud and that surely trhis was bound to come out so her PhD from there would be worthless so on that basis she wanted to move to my brother's university to complete her PhD. The committee approved her move.
That was nearly twenty years ago and that "prestigious black" university has still not been outed for the complete fraud it was and still is. In other words this has been going on for a very very long time and these students have been taken on throughout the US via the enforcement of DEI leading to a huge drop in competence across the US as a whole. Of course one or two of the students she met were capable but the few that were competent had their hard work erased by the "professors" handing out top grades to the lazy incompetents in their year so making it far harder for the competent people to get good positions after graduation.
