Yale School of Medicine Has a total of 553 students across All four classes.

There are nearly as many Asian students PER CLASS as there are Black students in the entire school.

Who exactly is getting discriminated against here ?

To no one in particular
Let me stand on something for a second and then im officially done.
Please refer to this post from now on
Yes…I have seen the viral video
I was coaching the athlete.
We lost the race. Period.
But what that video doesn’t show….
Skylar Hudnall responded by setting a conference record in the 5k and walked down the favorite coming in in the same fashion without the theatrics. The record he set winning was an almost 90 SECOND personal best.
Skylar also ran one of the fastest miles in the history of the SWAC two weeks earlier in 4:07.89. Which is the best our program has seen maybe ever.
Skylar is an excellent, hardworking student as well. He’s a great teammate and all his teammates respect and love him no matter where they come from and what their skin color is.
This is Skylar’s SECOND HBCU he chose coming from W Virginia State.
Skylar has the support of his teammates and his coach (Me) without question. Our staff believes in him.
Skylar’s coach (Me) doesn’t have much experience with distance running and is figuring it out every day (shout out to my UW guys that have contributed). He still shows up and trusts the process.
I could care less what your color, socioeconomic background, or whatever we use to separate us is.
If you work like this young man does, treat people with respect, act like an adult, and work to graduate….I WILL COACH YOU.
I have tremendous respect for Garfield and his program. We take the L in the mile like we took the W in the 5k. With respect for all who competed.
This is a lesson for our program and the young people.
Social media is full of people with comments and no context. The vast majority of them cant do what any of these athletes do daily.
So all yall that have liked, commented, shared, and laughed….we remain unbothered. We moved on after the race and focused on the 5k.
In the words of Deion
You didn’t make us
You can’t break us
I’m proud to have him with us

@ADavidHaleJoint When you rely on win percentage of conference opponents where you as a team can't dictate your schedule, seems kinda silly to most except those who benefit from it.
@BlueDevilQuaker@ADavidHaleJoint If you have to ask that 😂. Seriously, when mega conferences have teams that inevitably don't play each other, it's wise to ensure the tiebreaker rules account for things that matter most.
@TheStateOfTheU@ABLichtenstein ,with the changes announced regarding CFB format, can you remind us: did the ACC Agree to fix their silly tiebreaker rules 🤔?
