A medical school in Texas will no longer consider race in its admissions decisions—the first in the nation—as the Trump administration seeks to roll back affirmative-action practices put into place by the Obama administration.
The move is part of an agreement between the U.S. Department of Education and Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) in Lubbock. The school’s civil rights office reached the deal in February, ending a 14-year investigation into its admission practices.
