Morehouse and Other Black Medical Schools Rank High on “Social Mission”
(Boston Globe) — Here’s a ranking of medical schools that doesn’t place Harvard at the top. When schools were evaluated based on their “social mission,’’ UMass scored in the top 20, Boston University in the bottom 20, and Tufts and Harvard in the middle of the pack. BU’s dean was “shocked’’ by the conclusions published last week, saying the criteria used by the researchers were too narrow. The Northeast was at the bottom of the list and three historically black medical schools — led by Morehouse College in Georgia — were at the top.
