AdvertisementOn page 5 the DOJ states:To racially diversify its classes, San Diego Med created an evaluation process that uses ‘hardship’ as a racial proxy, specifically to achieve its diversity agenda. Advertisement This new system allowed San Diego Med to sort applicants by race by labeling URMs as ‘hardship’ applicants. The DOJ explains in detail on pages 5–7 that based on grade point average and MCAT score, San Diego Med gave blacks and Hispanics a significant advantage over whites and Asians. AdvertisementI suspect that further investigation will reveal that among the errors committed by San Diego Med regarding the admissions factor of “overcoming disadvantage,” the DOJ will find that San Diego Med, 1) puts undue weight on this factor generally, and 2) puts undue weight on this factor as applied to blacks and Hispanics. Is San Diego Med treating their hardship the same way they are treating the hardship of the black and Hispanic applicants?
