Religious Discrimination a case study...

In 1978 the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, responding to congressional concerns,(1) conducted a study to determine whether schools of medicine, nursing, or osteopathy deny admission or otherwise discriminate against any applicant because of the applicant's reluctance, or willingness, to counsel, suggest, recommend, assist, or in any way participate in the performance of abortions or sterilizations contrary to his or her religious beliefs or moral convictions.(2) Surveys were sent to all schools of medicine, nursing, and osteopathy in the United States, asking whether they discriminated against or denied admission to any of the named groups.(3) In addition, any applicant who had suffered such discrimination was asked to contact the surveyors, and any organization aware of incidents of discrimination was asked to describe details of such incidents.(4).
