A nonprofit released a report Tuesday concluding that the University of Texas system continues to discriminate based on race in defiance of a recent Supreme Court ruling.
Do No Harm conducted an admissions analysis of seven medical schools in the university system and called on the system to stop hiding data regarding racial preferences, according to its new report. A previous report by the organization had found that the schools’ acceptance rates barely changed across racial groups after the Court’s landmark 2023 ruling on affirmative action — and that testing data continued to show racial discrepancies.
David Puelz, a statistician and professor at the University of Texas, authored Do No Harm’s Tuesday report titled, “Racial Preferences At Texas Medical Schools.” Puelz analyzed data from three schools prior to the court’s ruling which showed that applicants in the University of Texas System schools were penalized or rewarded on the basis of race, according to the report.
At UT Southwestern, Puelz observed that black applicants had “21 times the odds of acceptance compared to white applicants with similar academic credentials,” his report found.
The study contains statistical analysis of admission data from Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center Medical School during the 2021 and 2022 admission cycles.

The report found that black and Hispanic applicants were admitted more those who were white or Asian and had similar academic achievements. Three levels of academic ability were accessed, and black and Hispanics applicants were favored over Asians and white applicants.

Seven schools in the University of Texas system have declined to provide admission data. The schools include UT Southwestern Medical School, UT Medical Branch at Galveston, UT Health Science Center at Houston, UT Health Science Center at San Antonio, UT Austin Dell Medical School, UT Rio Grande Valley School of Medicine, and UT Tyler School of Medicine.
