Texas Tech University's medical school will stop considering race in admissions under an agreement with the Trump administration.
Under the agreement, which Texas Tech accepted in February, its medical school will "discontinue all consideration of an applicant's race and/or national origin" in admissions. The school is also required to revise by September all admissions and recruiting materials so they don't include race as a factor.
