The Tulane University School of Medicine was placed on probation last week by a national accreditation board due to allegations of racism and discrimination within its graduate program.
According the The Lens, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) informed the school’s dean, Lee Hamm, of the decision on July 2. In a response sent to the ACGME, Hamm said that “given issues of confidentiality, we are limited in the information we can share about the ACGME’s decision,” but added that two of the primary areas of concern were “oversight of our [graduate medical education] programs,” and “improving our learning and working environments, including enhancing equity, diversity, and inclusion.”
The ACGME began making visits to the school last spring following the suspension of Dr. Princess Dennar, a Black woman who was director of the school’s internal medicine-pediatrics residency.
She accused the School of Medicine of retaliating against her for a federal lawsuit she filed in October 2020, which alleged racial and gender discrimination against her and her residents. Dennar said that her program was disproportionately composed of women of color.
So, the university want qualified people over racial outcomes.
Blah blah blah
