A lawsuit filed Tuesday accuses six state-run medical schools in Texas of violating federal anti-discrimination laws by giving preferences to female and non-Asian minority applicants.
The lawsuit by George Stewart, a white man who was denied admission to the schools, is the latest challenge to affirmative action policies that are commonly used by US schools to boost enrollment of Black, Hispanic and female students.
The University of Texas and Texas Tech University, which operate the schools named in the new lawsuit, did not immediately respond to requests for comment. According to the lawsuit, Stewart in 2021 obtained enrollment data for the six schools after he was denied admission. Stewart said in the complaint that the data showed that the schools gave preferences to female and non-Asian minority applicants.
