Western Kansas Med Students Face Admission Gaps
A news release cites KU Medical School admitting only 17 of 200 students from west of US 81, about 8 percent, while 46 hailed from Johnson County. Critics call it geographic discrimination, noting just 2 of 24 admissions committee members are from Western Kansas. Chancellor Dykes and KU Task Force propose prioritizing applicants from medically underserved areas to boost rural doctor supply.
