HBCU?

This institution may be aimed primarily at medical education for blacks and other U.S. minority groups, but it fails to meet the historic (and U.S. Department of Education definition, which says such an institution was founded pre-1964 (before the enactment of the Civil Rights Act of 1964). 2600:1004:B16D:9933:B138:36D1:15F1:5A42 (talk) 23:31, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

Proposed Edits

Hello,

I am working to update the Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science (CDU) wiki page, as it has not received any significant updates since 2014. I work for CDU and have a conflict of interest so I ask others to look and make edits on my behalf. Changes this go around will (hopefully) include major enhancements to the main text, complete with sources - though the below drafts that I've provided omit the citations already included by Wikipedia.

I have edited the entire article, but was later advised that it would be best to include my edit requests by-the-section versus uploading the entire draft via my sandbox. If I am doing this incorrectly, please notify me and I will work to remedy it immediately. My requests are below my signature. Thank you, Chantelcartercdu (talk) 23:05, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

  • About (header)

Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science is a private, non-profit, historically black graduate institution (HBGI) and a minority-serving institution located in Willowbrook, unincorporated Los Angeles County, California, United States. It was founded in 1966 in response to inadequate medical access within the Watts region of Los Angeles, California, USA. The institution officially became a university in 1987 and changed its name in order to reflect its new academic role. The university is named in honor of Dr. Charles R. Drew, a pioneering African-American physician who overcame long odds and racism in the early and mid-20th century to produce seminal work on blood banking and blood plasma storage and transfusion. He was also a distinguished surgeon and chair of surgery at Howard University.

CDU has earned designation as a minority-serving institution by the U.S. Office for Civil Rights, and is recognized by the Department of Education (DOE) under Title III B as a Historically Black Graduate Institution (HBGI). The University is a member of the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities and a member-school of the Thurgood Marshall College Fund.

In 2015, CDU was identified as a “hidden gem” by the Brookings Institution college ranking system and cited for offering among the “best value-added boost to its students' mid-career earnings.” (source) As recently as 2017, CDU was named the second most diverse four-year private nonprofit college in the nation (source). A California Wellness Foundation report estimated that one‐third of all minority physicians practicing in Los Angeles County are graduates of CDU and/or its residency training programs. More than 80 percent of CDU students report returning to practice in underserved communities following graduation. In 2018, CDU was ranked 48th out of 1655 colleges and universities across the country for highest-paid graduates, in the top three percent nationally. (source)

  • History (header)

In 1965, African Americans in Watts faced double digit rates of unemployment, a lack of livable housing, poor health status and diminished access to health care facilities. Frustrations built and an arrest sparked a civil disturbance, later known as the Watts Revolt. In the aftermath of the revolt, Governor Edmund G. Brown created the McCone Commission to investigate the uprising. The Commission determined that poor health status and diminished access to health care were among the major factors that led to the upheaval and consequently prescribed more job training programs, improved health care services and increased education programs, among other initiatives. (source)

In response to community organizing and the McCone Commission’s recommendations to improve access to healthcare in South Los Angeles, Charles R. Drew Postgraduate Medical School was incorporated in the State of California as a private, nonprofit educational institution in 1966. In 1973, Governor Ronald Reagan signed Senate Bill 1026 (source) by State Senator Mervyn Dymally to appropriate $1.2 million (approximately $6.6 million in 2017 dollars) in funding in order to support the clinical health sciences education, research, and public service conducted by the institution.

In January 1970, the offices of the Charles R. Drew Postgraduate Medical School and the Watts -Willowbrook Regional Medical program formally opened at 12012 Compton Avenue. Those offices would serve as the central center for CDU’s operations until the W.M. Keck Building’s construction in 1984.

  • Academic Programs (header)

Three schools and colleges are housed on CDU’s 11-acre campus: College of Science and Health, College of Medicine and the Mervyn M. Dymally School Nursing (MMDSON).

In May 1978, a proposed agreement between the Charles R. Drew Postgraduate Medical School and the UCLA School of Medicine to jointly establish an undergraduate medical program at Drew was formally approved. Students complete their first two years at UCLA and their third and fourth years, the clinical years, at CDU. The original agreement was signed to last for twenty years and is renewable. At the time, the program’s launch catapulted CDU onto the national stage, as it joined Howard University, Meharry Medical College and the Morehouse School of Medicine as the only minority-serving institutions in the United States during a time when the need for health practitioners was at a crisis level for Black urban and rural areas.

The Mervyn M. Dymally School of Nursing opened in 2010 under founding dean Dr. Gloria J. McNeal in direct response to the critical nurse shortage in California, as the state still ranks near the bottom of all states in the number of RNs per capita. The school was the first comprehensive nursing program to open in Southern California in decades, and the first ever of its kind in South Los Angeles. (source)

  • Return of Residency Training (subheader)

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors (source), acting on a motion by Board Chairman Mark Ridley-Thomas and Supervisor Janice Hahn, approved $800,000 in funds to develop two new residency programs at CDU in Psychiatry and Family Medicine in August 2017. Residents began their programs in July 2018. The program approvals marked the return of residency training to the University and, by extension, the wider South Los Angeles community, for the first time since 2007. They are expected to turn out physicians who will practice in some of the most medically under-resourced communities of Los Angeles. A Medical School Affiliation Agreement between the County Health Agency and CDU will provide the programs with ongoing support.

The Psychiatry residents complete their inpatient and outpatient work in Kedren Community Health Centers and various Department of Mental Health county facilities throughout SPA 6.  Family Medicine residents complete their inpatient work at Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center in Downey, St. Francis Medical Center in Lynwood and outpatient work at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Outpatient Center in Willowbrook, as well as various Department of Health Services county facilities throughout SPA 6.

Research (header) CDU’s Department of Research and Health Affairs conducts ongoing research on conditions disproportionately affecting under-resourced communities of color, such as diabetes, hypertension, cancer, chronic kidney diseases and HIV/AIDs. The department was initially established as the Office of Research in 1973 to organize the assignment of research activities at the institution and provide a focus for encouraging faculty participation in laboratory activities.

In 1979, comedian Richard Pryor gifted the University $100,000 (equivalent to roughly $350,000 in 2017 dollars) to further its muscular dystrophy research in the Watts area.  At the time, the gift was the largest ever given to CDU by a Black donor (source)  and was vital to the continued growth of basic biomedical research at CDU, which was still in early stages of development at the time. Additionally, it enabled CDU to become the first institution in Los Angeles to develop an epidemiological study of muscular dystrophy and related diseases in Los Angeles County – particularly how the crippling disease affected Black and other minority populations, and thus be able to render more effective treatment and services.

Clusters (subheader) CDU’s current research enterprise consists of five clusters:

  • Cancer Cluster: Led by Dr. Jay Vagdama. Dedicated to reducing cancer health disparities through research, education and training, as well as community outreach endeavors.
  • Cardio-Metabolic Cluster: Led by Dr. Theodore Friedman. Dedicated to fostering collaborative solutions for improving minority health and reducing ethnic and geographic disparities in cardiovascular and related diseases.
  • HIV/AIDS Cluster: Led by Dr. Nina Harawa. Dedicated to ensuring excellence in HIV education, research and service provision for underserved communities, both locally and internationally. The University's HIV research and services fall under this cluster and the Drew Center for AIDS Research Education and Services (Drew C.A.R.E.S.).
  • Mental Health Cluster: Dedicated to addressing the mental health disparity by conducting extensive research to better understand the causes, and devise effective solutions that make mental health services easily accessible to the community.
  • Health Services/Policy Research Cluster: Dedicated to ensuring that the healthcare needs of the community will be effectively communicated to policymakers and lawmakers in Los Angeles. Serves as CDU’s answer to a strong need for a policy institute that exclusively studies health disparities and aids in devising effective solutions in healthcare distribution, as well as political and social avenues.
  • Proposed Section Edits: HIV Testing, Accreditation, Pipeline Programs, Affiliation with Martin Luther King Hospital


Information to be added or removed: Please see full blurb(s) below.

Explanation of issue: Minor rewrites for HIV Testing and Pipeline sections; updated information re: University's accreditation status and affiliation with adjacent hospital

References supporting change: References are linked throughout the paragraphs, denoted by (source) with a hyperlink. Chantelcartercdu (talk) 23:05, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

HIV Testing (Header) The university has on-campus clinics, including the SPECTRUM and OASIS Clinics, which offer HIV medical care and testing services, as well as case management, substance abuse counseling, support groups and treatment advocate services to members of L.A. County. All programs and services are located on the southeastern corner of the CDU campus, and are provided regardless of a patient’s ability to pay.

Accreditation (Header) In July 2007, the university passed a curriculum review by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges and retaining its accreditation, announcing plans for a new four-year medical school and nursing school in partnership with the University of California.

At its meeting on June 17–19, 2009 the Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges and Universities acted to place the university on Probation due to it having been found to have serious issues of noncompliance with the Commission Standards. The university maintained its accreditation throughout this process and was removed from probation in 2011. In July 2018, the University’s accreditation was officially reaffirmed by WSCUC for a full ten years – the longest time period permitted by the review process – following a visit to the University in March 2018.

The School of Nursing was granted initial approval by the California Board of Registered Nursing in June 2009. The Western Association of Schools and Colleges granted its approval in March 2009. In 2011, the School of Nursing was granted initial full accreditation by both the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission and the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education. In 2017, the nursing school’s master’s degree and post-graduate APRN certificate programs received accreditations from the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) for ten years, extending to December 31, 2027.

Pipeline Programs (Header) CDU provides unique academic programs that expand the educational capacity of underrepresented youth to ensure their long-term success, health and well-being. CDU currently offers pathways to careers in medicine, science, research and health to Pre-K to 12th grade students via its pipeline programs, which include Saturday Science Academy-II, Project STRIDE, Opportunity Scholars Public Health Academy, Research Medical Careers Program and CDU Mobile STEM labs.

Association with Martin Luther King Jr. Hospital (header) Main article: Martin Luther King Jr.-Harbor Hospital

From 1972 to 2006, CDU was associated with the defunct Martin Luther King Jr./Charles R. Drew Medical Center, which closed in 2007. Both the university and associated public hospital fell into serious trouble at the outset of the 21st century. By 2006, several residency programs had to be terminated because they lost accreditation for not meeting the necessary amount of oversight, and the hospital itself was forced into a radical restructuring plan in late 2006. The restructuring caused hospital to sever its ties to the neighboring medical school and terminate support to 248 medical residents.

In October 2006, the national Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education informed school officials that it planned to revoke the university's accreditation because of the hospital's upcoming loss of Medicare money; as a result the university voluntarily withdrew its accreditation. On March 6, 2007, officials from the university announced that they would sue Los Angeles County for $125 million for breach of contract, claiming that the restructuring of the hospital gutted the adjacent university. In September 2009, the lawsuit was settled with an agreement under which the county would rent space to the university on favorable terms and the county and university would work together toward the reopening of MLK Hospital.

Since the opening in 2015 of the replacement medical center, the Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Hospital, CDU has maintained a close relationship with the facility due to proximity, but does not have a formal affiliation with the hospital.

Revised Edit Request (2/7/2019) **updated references 2/14**

Hello,

Many thanks to Spintendo for detailing what I needed to do to implement changes on the CDU Wiki page. As previously mentioned, I work for the University and have a conflict of interest so I ask others to look and make edits on my behalf. These changes include major enhancements to the main text, complete with sources - as a precaution, I have also included existing Wikipedia sources where appropriate.

I'd like to reiterate that my employer tasked me to update and "fill in missing holes" within the article, and as such, no plagiarism was intended during drafting. If I have updated the text incorrectly or paraphrased too closely, please notify me and I will work to remedy it immediately. My requests are below my signature. Thank you, Chantelcartercdu (talk) 23:26, 7 February 2019 (UTC)

EDIT: Please add the below to the article's introduction section:

CDU has earned designation as a minority-serving institution by the U.S. Office for Civil Rights,[1] and is recognized by the Department of Education (DOE) under Title III B as a Historically Black Graduate Institution (HBGI).[2] The University is a member of the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities[3] and a member-school of the Thurgood Marshall College Fund.[4]

In 2018, CDU was ranked 48th out of 1655 colleges and universities across the country for highest-paid graduates, in the top three percent nationally.[7]

EDIT: Please create a new History section and include the below:

In 1965, African Americans in Watts faced double digit rates of unemployment, a lack of livable housing, poor health status and diminished access to health care facilities.[8][9] Frustrations built and an arrest sparked a civil disturbance, later known as the Watts Revolt.[10] In the aftermath of the revolt, Governor Edmund G.

Three schools and colleges are housed on CDU’s 11-acre campus: College of Science and Health[17], College of Medicine[18] and the Mervyn M. Dymally School Nursing (MMDSON)[19].

In May 1978, a proposed agreement between the Charles R.

The School of Nursing was granted initial approval by the California Board of Registered Nursing in June 2009.[42] The Western Association of Schools and Colleges granted its approval in March 2009.[43] In 2011, the School of Nursing was granted initial full accreditation by both the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission[44] and the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education.[45] In 2017, the nursing school’s master’s degree and post-graduate APRN certificate programs received accreditation from the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) for ten years, extending to December 31, 2027.[46][47]

EDIT: Please update the Pipeline Programs section with the below text:

CDU provides unique academic programs that expand the educational capacity of underrepresented youth to ensure their long-term success, health and well-being. CDU currently offers pathways to careers in medicine, science, research and health to Pre-K to 12th grade students via its pipeline programs, which include Saturday Science Academy-II, Project STRIDE, Opportunity Scholars Public Health Academy, Research Medical Careers Program and CDU Mobile STEM labs.[48]

EDIT: Please update the Association with Martin Luther King, Jr. Hospital section with the below text:

From 1972 to 2006, CDU was associated with the defunct Martin Luther King Jr./Charles R. Drew Medical Center, which closed in 2007.[49] Both the university and associated public hospital fell into serious trouble at the outset of the 21st century.[50] By 2006, several residency programs had to be terminated because they lost accreditation for not meeting the necessary amount of oversight, and the hospital itself was forced into a radical restructuring plan in late 2006. The restructuring caused hospital to sever its ties to the neighboring medical school and terminate support to 248 medical residents. [51]

In October 2006, the national Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education informed school officials that it planned to revoke the university's accreditation because of the hospital's upcoming loss of Medicare money; as a result the university voluntarily withdrew its accreditation.[52] On March 6, 2007, officials from the university announced that they would sue Los Angeles County for $125 million for breach of contract, claiming that the restructuring of the hospital gutted the adjacent university.[51] In September 2009, the lawsuit was settled with an agreement under which the county would rent space to the university on favorable terms and the county and university would work together toward the reopening of MLK Hospital.[53]

Since the opening in 2015 of the replacement medical center, the Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Hospital, CDU has maintained a close relationship with the facility due to proximity but does not have a formal affiliation with the hospital.[54]

Unreferenced sections

CDU has earned designation as a minority-serving institution by the U.S. Office for Civil Rights,[1] and is recognized by the Department of Education (DOE) under Title III B as a Historically Black Graduate Institution (HBGI).[2] The University is a member of the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities[3] and a member-school of the Thurgood Marshall College Fund.[4]

In 2015, CDU was identified as a “hidden gem” by the Brookings Institution college ranking system and cited for offering among the “best value-added boost to its students' mid-career earnings.”[5] As recently as 2017, CDU was named the second most diverse four-year private nonprofit college in the nation.[6] More than 80 percent of CDU students report returning to practice in underserved communities following graduation. In 2018, CDU was ranked 48th out of 1655 colleges and universities across the country for highest-paid graduates, in the top three percent nationally.[7]

EDIT: Please create a new History section and include the below:

In 1965, African Americans in Watts faced double digit rates of unemployment, a lack of livable housing, poor health status and diminished access to health care facilities.[8][9] Frustrations built and an arrest sparked a civil disturbance, later known as the Watts Revolt.[10] In the aftermath of the revolt, Governor Edmund G. Brown created the McCone Commission to investigate the uprising.[11] The Commission determined that poor health status and diminished access to health care were among the major factors that led to the upheaval and consequently prescribed more job training programs, improved health care services and increased education programs, among other initiatives.[12]

Charles R. Drew Postgraduate Medical School was incorporated in the State of California as a private, nonprofit educational institution in 1966 in response to the Commission's recommendations to improve access to healthcare in South Los Angeles.[13][14] In 1973, Governor Ronald Reagan signed Senate Bill 1026[15]by State Senator Mervyn Dymally to appropriate $1.2 million (approximately $6.6 million in 2017 dollars) in funding for the institution.[16]

In January 1970, the offices of the Charles R. Drew Postgraduate Medical School and the Watts-Willowbrook Regional Medical program formally opened at 12012 Compton Avenue.[17] Those offices would serve as the central center for CDU’s operations until the W.M. Keck Building’s construction in 1984.[18]

Presidents

(Please note that the University's presidents were referred to as "deans" prior to the 1980s.)

2011 – present: David M. Carlisle, MD, PhD[19]

2010 – 2011: M. Roy Wilson, MD, MS (acting)[20]

2009 – 2010: Keith C. Norris, MD, PhD (interim)[21]

2006 – 2008: Susan A. Kelly, MD[22]

EDIT: Please rename the "School of Nursing" section to "Academic Programs" and replace text with the below:

Three schools and colleges are housed on CDU’s 11-acre campus: College of Science and Health[33], College of Medicine[34] and the Mervyn M. Dymally School Nursing (MMDSON)[35].

In May 1978, a proposed agreement between the Charles R. Drew Postgraduate Medical School and the UCLA School of Medicine to jointly establish an undergraduate medical program at Drew was formally approved.[36] Students complete their first two years at UCLA and their third and fourth years, the clinical years, at CDU.[37] The original agreement was signed to last for twenty years and is renewable.[36] At the time, the program’s launch catapulted CDU onto the national stage, as it joined Howard University, Meharry Medical College and the Morehouse School of Medicine as the only four historically Black medical schools in the United States.[38]

The Mervyn M. Dymally School of Nursing opened in 2010 under founding dean Dr. Gloria J. McNeal[39] in direct response to the critical nurse shortage in California, as the state still ranks near the bottom of all states in the number of RNs per capita.[40] The school was the first comprehensive nursing program to open in Southern California in decades, and the first ever of its kind in South Los Angeles.[41]

  • Return of Residency Training

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, acting on a motion by Board Chairman Mark Ridley-Thomas and Supervisor Janice Hahn,[42] approved $800,000 in funds to develop two new residency programs at CDU in Psychiatry and Family Medicine in August 2017. Residents began their programs in July 2018. The program approvals marked the return of residency training to the University[43] and, by extension, the wider South Los Angeles community, for the first time since 2007.[44] A Medical School Affiliation Agreement between the County Health Agency and CDU will provide the programs with ongoing support.[45]

The Psychiatry residents complete their inpatient and outpatient work in Kedren Community Health Centers and various Department of Mental Health county facilities throughout SPA 6, while Family Medicine residents complete their inpatient work at Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center in Downey, St. Francis Medical Center in Lynwood and outpatient work at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Outpatient Center in Willowbrook, as well as various Department of Health Services county facilities throughout SPA 6.[46]

EDIT: Please update the Research section with the below text:

CDU’s Department of Research and Health Affairs conducts ongoing research on conditions such as hypertension, cancer and HIV/AIDs.[47] CDU’s current research enterprise consists of five clusters: the Cancer Cluster, the Cardio-Metabolic Cluster, the HIV/AIDs Cluster and the Health Services/Policy Research Cluster.[48]

The department was initially established as the Office of Research in 1973 to organize the assignment of research activities at the institution and provide a focus for encouraging faculty participation in laboratory activities.[49][50]

In 1979, comedian Richard Pryor gifted the University $100,000 to further its muscular dystrophy research in the Watts area.[51]  At the time, the gift was the largest ever given to CDU by a Black donor[51] and was vital to the continued growth of basic biomedical research at CDU, which was still in early stages of development at the time. Additionally, it enabled CDU to become the first institution in Los Angeles to develop an epidemiological study of muscular dystrophy and related diseases in Los Angeles County – particularly how the crippling disease affected Black and other minority populations, and thus be able to render more effective treatment and services.[52][53]

EDIT: Please update the HIV section with the below text:

The university has on-campus clinics, including the SPECTRUM and OASIS Clinics[54], which offer HIV medical care and testing services, as well as case management, substance abuse counseling, support groups and treatment advocate services to members of L.A. County.[55] All programs and services are located on the southeastern corner of the CDU campus, and are provided regardless of a patient’s ability to pay.[56]

EDIT: Please update the Accreditation section with the below text:

In July 2007, the university passed a curriculum review by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges and retaining its accreditation, announcing plans for a new four-year medical school and nursing school in partnership with the University of California.[57]

At its meeting on June 17–19, 2009 the Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges and Universities acted to place the university on Probation due to it having been found to have serious issues of noncompliance with the Commission Standards.[58] The university maintained its accreditation throughout this process and was removed from probation in 2011.[59][60] In July 2018, the University’s accreditation was officially reaffirmed by WSCUC for a full ten years[61] – the longest time period permitted by the review process – following a visit to the University in March 2018.

The School of Nursing was granted initial approval by the California Board of Registered Nursing in June 2009.[62] The Western Association of Schools and Colleges granted its approval in March 2009.[63] In 2011, the School of Nursing was granted initial full accreditation by both the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission[64] and the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education.[65] In 2017, the nursing school’s master’s degree and post-graduate APRN certificate programs received accreditation from the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) for ten years, extending to December 31, 2027.[66][67]

EDIT: Please update the Pipeline Programs section with the below text:

CDU currently offers pathways to education in medicine, science, research and health to Pre-K to 12th grade students via its pipeline programs, which include Saturday Science Academy-II, Project STRIDE, Opportunity Scholars Public Health Academy, Research Medical Careers Program and CDU Mobile STEM labs.[68]

@Spintendo: Thanks very much. I've addressed the missing references in my original request, please let me know if I will need to create a new one. Some of the things I was asked to reference can only be proven with primary information from our website, and I took guidance from the "Reliable Sources" section of the WP:UNIGUIDE in providing these sources. I hope I applied the advice correctly, but I welcome feedback at your earliest convenience. Chantelcartercdu (talk) 21:46, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for your sourcing of these claims with ref tags, which help to place which claim goes with which reference. The references at this time include many which are university-supplied, and which cover claims that are already available elsewhere (the University's own website as well as this page in particular). Due to the current standing version of the article's heavy use of University-supplied sources[a] it would be best if the suggested additions to that standing version included mostly secondary sources, which are generally the preferred sources for articles in Wikipedia. Additionally, sections within your request still do not contain ref tags (the Presidents section and the section on CDU’s current research enterprise clusters) or have ref tags whose placement is dubious (i.e., one ref tag placed at the end of a long paragraph which contains many claims, such as in the paragraph which begins "The Psychiatry residents complete their inpatient ...."). These should be fixed as well. Thank you for your help with this! Regards,  Spintendo  13:35, 20 February 2019 (UTC)

Notes

  1. ^ As of 2/20/2019, the University-supplied references in the article comprise 13 of all the references listed. The addition of the proposed edit request sources do not improve on this figure, as they would have the article's University-supplied references still comprising nearly 13 of all the references listed (28.17%).

Changes made 3/5

Good afternoon. I have updated the references detailed in the "Unreferenced Section" drop down detailed by @Spintendo:. In addition to that, I have rewritten a few of the passages to be as neutral as possible.

Spintendo, you noted in our conversation on your talk page that this article makes mention of a program that has been defunct for 20 years - I might have edited it out without realizing in this most recent round, but I couldn't see what you were talking about. If you catch it in this review, could you please highlight it so that I can update accordingly? Thanks. Chantelcartercdu (talk) 00:06, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

The passage is the following:

In May 1978, a proposed agreement between the Charles R. Drew Postgraduate Medical School and the UCLA School of Medicine to jointly establish an undergraduate medical program at Drew was formally approved. Students complete their first two years at UCLA and their third and fourth years, the clinical years, at CDU. The original agreement was signed to last for twenty years and is renewable.

The text states that this agreement is renewable, but does not state whether it was renewed, leaving the reader to conclude that it must have elapsed in 1998. Also, the passages that are in blue cannot be inserted into the text as is. Their initial proposal was instituted on the idea that the surrounding text would be implemented along with it. As this is not to be the case, there is no direction for where these passages are to be placed. A newer request needs to be offered explaining where these sections of approvable text are to be inserted. Regards,  Spintendo  12:13, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
@Chantelcartercdu: Just following up to make sure you got my last message. When ready to proceed, be sure to open a new request under a level 2 heading using a new {{request edit}} template to alert editors that you're ready to proceed. Thank you!  Spintendo  23:21, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
