“It’s a culture that values performance and punishes poor performance with personal humiliation.”
— Chris Thompson, a fourth-year University of Minnesota medical student on the culture of harassment of students at the U’s medical school.
In a recent survey, 14.5% of students there reported they’d been mistreated — a figure that’s actually below the national rate of 17 percent.
The school with the most “abnormal” results?
Duluth, where five students — or 12 percent of the medical school’s first-year class — reported feeling mistreated.
