UCLA's medical school quickly abandoned an exercise that racially segregated students after a civil rights complaint was filed against them. A report from the Wall Street Journal claimed that despite pushback against diversity‚ equity‚ and inclusion‚ it appears to be alive and well on college campuses.There is an emerging practice cropping up in elite medical schools across the country that splits students up by race to educate students about structural racism in healthcare. The report said UCLA requires first-year students to take a class called "Structural Racism and Health Equity" as part of the standard curriculum. It went on to mention that students are split up by race in one exercise to talk about antiracist prompts.Fox News Digital reported students were asked to join a racial group that matched how they appeared to others. "[R]ecognizing the imperfect and problematic nature of our socially constructed racial categories‚ we ask that you identify the group in which you feel you are most perceived as in clinical spaces‚" the school told the students‚ according to the report.The institution decided to drop the questionable exercise after a nonprofit group filed a complaint with the civil rights office.The medical nonprofit group‚ Do No Harm‚ filed the complaint with the San Francisco Civil Rights Office‚ claiming that the school had violated the law. The group said the racial caucusing groups "illegally segregate and separate its first year medical students based on their race‚ color and/or national origin‚" which violates Title IV of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.Dr. Stanley Goldfarb criticized the medical school for continuing to perpetuate racism."That UCLA encouraged racial segregation in its medical school class is an absolutely outrageous abandonment of nearly 65 year old national commitment to eliminate racism in society. All medical students should be working together to learn to provide optimal medical care to all patients rather than to perpetuate‚ absurd‚ racist notions‚" Goldfarb said to Fox News Digital."The day the civil-rights complaint was filed‚ UCLA abruptly informed students that the caucusing exercise was cancelled‚ which suggests that administrators know the practice is legally suspect. In accepting federal funds‚ schools must agree to abide by Title VI‚ which prohibits discrimination by race. It contains no exception for discriminating in pursuit of an antiracist agenda. As a public university‚ UCLA is also governed by the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment‚" the Wall Street Journal said.Like Blaze News?

EBay is set to pay $3 million to make right criminal charges brought about after several former employees sent cockroaches‚ spiders‚ and a fetal pig to a Massachusetts couple who wrote a critical newsletter about the company in 2019‚ according to NBC News.The online retail and auction juggernaut was charged with two counts of stalking through interstate travel‚ two counts of stalking by electronic communications services‚ witness tampering‚ and obstruction of justice‚ according to a statement released by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts.As a result‚ eBay has agreed to pay the penalty‚ which is the maximum amount that can be fined for the six felonies. Reports mentioned that the company will have to retain an independent corporate compliance monitor for three years and make substantial changes to its compliance program. “eBay engaged in absolutely horrific‚ criminal conduct. The company’s employees and contractors involved in this campaign put the victims through pure hell‚ in a petrifying campaign aimed at silencing their reporting and protecting the eBay brand‚” Acting United States Attorney Joshua S. Levy said. “We left no stone unturned in our mission to hold accountable every individual who turned the victims’ world upside-down through a never-ending nightmare of menacing and criminal acts. The investigation led to felony convictions for seven individuals‚ all former eBay employees or contractors‚ and the ringleader was sentenced to 57 months in federal prison.”“Today’s criminal resolution with the company imposes the maximum fine that the law allows under the statutes‚ holding eBay accountable for a corporate culture that led to this unprecedented stalking campaign‚" Levy continued. "The corporate monitoring of eBay will be in place for the next three years and will ensure that eBay’s senior leadership sets a tone that makes compliance with the law paramount‚ implements safeguards to prevent future criminal activity‚ and makes clear to every eBay employee that the idea of terrorizing innocent people and obstructing investigations will not be tolerated.”EBay released a statement on Thursday‚ writing: "The company’s conduct in 2019 was wrong and reprehensible‚” Jamie Iannone‚ Chief Executive Officer at eBay‚ said. “From the moment eBay first learned of the 2019 events‚ eBay cooperated fully and extensively with law enforcement authorities. We continue to extend our deepest apologies to the Steiners for what they endured. Since these events occurred‚ new leaders have joined the company and eBay has strengthened its policies‚ procedures‚ controls and training. eBay remains committed to upholding high standards of conduct and ethics and to making things right with the Steiners.”NBC News reported eBay admitted that from August 5 to August 23‚ 2019‚ eBay's former senior director of safety and security‚ as well as six other members of the team‚ took aim at the victims‚ who resided in Natick.
