than these students, but we know the gpa is not...ry, the grade point average. the high—tech score. what we know is it is not the only success we know is it is not the only success factor in a student. 80% variance in college success attributable to different factors other than test scores. this was brought in by obama, it is an obama policy about promoting diversity. there are universities that don't consider race as a factor. this is a huge discussion in the uk as well with cambridge and oxford seen as the two most famous universities internationally. they are sought after by international students worldwide wanting to get in. and yet there is a lack of diversity. a lack of students. yes and they have another issue which is that they are accused of not having enough stu d e nts accused of not having enough students from disadvantaged backgrounds. not just race. students from disadvantaged backgrounds. notjust race. it is a different issue in terms of what people say about oxbridge. the stu d e nts people say about oxbridge. the stud

despite the fact that my 3.1 gpa was dramatically lower than their average of 3.7.cker: what does that say about the people who run medical schools, they are willing to lower the scores. many of those who cut people open, and in the name of some abstract diversity goal? >> tucker: that seems reckless? >> as a result of the system they essentially allow the students who were not as qualified as others to get in. i don't want to talk about the end product. whether this results in people who are of lower quality. it is a system of legalized racism. the universities are promoting discrimination against asian-americans on a massive scale. it also promotes negative stereotypes on the competency and professionalism of african-americans as physicians and health care professionals. it is important to realize that the university of illinois, affirmative action actually produced negative stereotypes on african-americans and hispanics. >> tucker: is there some reason, that we should care what our doctors look like? is appearance critical to practicing medicine? >> first of all,

i pulled up the data on every african-american boy in high school with a gpa below 1.5 knowing that, these were students who had significant discipline issues. and we looked at what was in place for these particular students. so they should have an individual learning plan. while at the query that happened at close session prompted me to ask, what is happening with these particular students? if they are failing all of their classes, and they are -- discipline is stacking up and they are just the next expulsion waiting to happen? what are we doing about that? we are digging a little deeper into some of these issues where we see individual cases where there is no interventions at all and having to ask those questions. when we see students, one after another with a very low gpa failing every class in high school, at the junior level, but very -- only with freshmen critics, what are we doing with those students? we look at the fact that they have significant behaviour interventions. we are just kind of, in other words stacking up one incident after another and being asked, you know, how

they said you have to have a 3.0 gpa and i got up and started walking out. i said this is not me. the representative from inroads came out and stopped me and said before you leave, let me talk to you. they started to learn about my story and the fact that i was working and paying bill and balancing grades all in high school. they said we want to give you a shot. inroads went onto teach me the principles of how to work in corporate america, leadership, team work, communication and then gave me an internship with a company that was my sponsor and that sponsor was fedex. i started at fedex as an i.t. intern through inroads and then 17 years in the field of i.t. with fedex and then ultimately switching over to hr and my current role as vice president. i start with that story simply to say that it took the education system, the non-profit to reach out and connect and the private sector to reach in and sponsor and that created and connected me possibility of being here today. when i stepped into this role about two or three years ago, i had the opportunity to attend the tech hire summit

from inception to date, it's estimated 18 million infections have been inverted on the basis of the gpa effort to eradicate polio. that resulted in cost savings to society through disability adjusted costs and the lack of ability to work for care providers and the individuals affected. it's also estimated that the overall savings when we finish will be between $40 and $50 billion for the first two decades that it's hard math to say this, but it started some years ago, and would go through 2035. and so on the front end, we're already saving money, even though it's an expensive annual cost and on the back end, we will reap far greater savings. so, thinking about what we have to do, the first thing we have to do is we have to finish. we have to keep our eye on the ball and not be distracted by other things and actually aim to eradicate polio. and as we eradicate polio, we also have to make sure that we are effectively withdrawing oral polio vaccine and that we are making sure that we don't see polio viruses. we also have to transition responsibly. when we say transition responsibly, we mea
