- The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) has decided to eliminate scholarships for high-achieving Black medical students to avoid potential backlash from the Trump administration.
- A letter from UAB informed donors that the Herschell Lee Hamilton, M.D., Endowed Scholarship in Medicine, which supported Black medical students since 2013, will no longer be awarded.
- This decision followed a letter from the U.S. Department of Education urging colleges to end programs aimed at addressing historical discrimination.
- Doctors and family members of Dr. Hamilton criticize this move as misguided, expressing concern over its negative impact on healthcare in Alabama and the recruitment of physicians from diverse backgrounds.
It’s literally ridiculous and it’s unconscionable that you require an institution to divorce itself from a student scholarship that honors the work of somebody like my father, who wasn’t a controversial figure.— Herschell Lanier Hamilton on UAB's decision to discontinue scholarships for Black medical students.
