One reason the UCLA whistleblowers came forward is that their medical students couldn’t perform basic lab tests—the kind that that might be used to diagnosis life-threatening conditions like, well, sepsis.

"I have students on their rotation who don't know anything," a member of the admissions committee told the Free Beacon. "People get in and they struggle."

“The doctors didn’t follow protocol at all. Big issues.”
Such mistakes happen all the time, to be clear, and there’s no evidence to think this particular, near-fatal error was the result of an incompetent medical student.

But it does underscore the stakes of letting incompetent students practice medicine.

NEW: NYU Law axed a Federalist Society event scheduled for Oct. 7 because administrators feared protesters would disrupt it.

One official cited the "increased likelihood of demonstrations and protests connected to the anniversary of the October 7, 2023 incidents in Gaza."🧵 Image
NYU’s fedsoc chapter had invited the conservative legal scholar Ilya Shapiro to discuss his new book Lawless: The Miseducation of American Elites. Shapiro, who is Jewish, has criticized anti-Israel protesters and taken schools to task over their handling of encampments.
He has also been the target of multiple campus protests, including one at UC Hastings, where he was shouted down for nearly an hour straight.

EXCLUSIVE: The FBI is investigating social media posts by at least seven different accounts that appeared to indicate foreknowledge of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, according to three people familiar with the investigation and screenshots obtained by the Free Beacon.🧵 Image
Image
Image
Image
The posts—one of which referenced the date of Kirk’s assassination, September 10, more than a month before it took place—were all deleted in the days following the killing.
Several of the accounts appear to belong to transgender individuals, and at least one of them followed suspect Tyler Robinson's roommate, with whom Robinson was allegedly in a relationship, on TikTok. Image

EXCLUSIVE: The Trump administration has launched a civil rights probe into the Duke Law Journal based on our reporting—and it's warning that Duke Medical School could be next.

The school could lose ~1 billion in federal aid if it does not make major changes within six months.🧵 Image
The Department of Education will investigate the Duke Law Journal’s 2024 decision to award extra points to applicants who mentioned race and gender in their personal statements.
Candidates could earn up to 10 points for discussing their "membership in an underrepresented group," according to the grading rubric for the essays, and an additional 3-5 points for holding "a leadership position in an affinity group." Image

NEW: After Prop. 209, UC San Diego transferred a race-based scholarship to a private nonprofit, the San Diego Foundation, so that it could continue the program.

Now both entities are being sued under the KKK Act, which bans conspiracies to interfere with civil rights.🧵 Image
The Ku Klux Klan Act bans conspiracies of both public and private actors that deprive "any person … of the equal protection of the laws." It was passed in 1871 to counter the Klan’s lawless intimidation of black voters.
But it is being used today to challenge UCSD’s Black Alumni Scholarship Fund, which a lawsuit filed on Wednesday describes as a "conspiracy to interfere with civil rights."

EXCLUSIVE: Before she became the acting president of Columbia University, Claire Shipman argued that the school needed to get an "Arab on our board"—and suggested that a Jewish trustee should be removed over her pro-Israel advocacy.🧵 Image
"We need to get somebody from the middle east [sic] or who is Arab on our board," Shipman, then the co-chair of Columbia’s board of trustees, wrote in a message on January 17, 2024. "Quickly I think. Somehow." Image
A week later, Shipman told a colleague that Shoshana Shendelman, one of the board’s most outspoken critics of campus anti-Semitism, had been "extraordinarily unhelpful," adding, "I just don’t think she should be on the board." Image

SCOOP: The Duke Law Journal sent a secret memo to minority applicants with tips on how to ace the journal's personal statement.

The memo told students they'd get up to 15 extra points for indicating their "membership in an "underrepresented group."🧵 Image
Image
The packet also included four examples of successful personal statements. Three of those essays referenced race in the first sentence. For example: "as an Asian-American woman and a daughter of immigrants, I am afforded with different perspectives, experiences, and privileges." Image
A fourth student waited until the last paragraph to disclose that she was "a Middle Eastern Jewish woman," an "intersectional identity" she said would "prove useful" in a "collaborative environment." Image
