Calling President Reagan ‘disturbingly racist,’ student wants his name stripped from med centerA UCLA student is calling for President Ronald Reagan’s name to be removed from the UCLA Medical Center, calling him “disturbingly racist” and arguing he did not address AIDS fast enough.Founded in 1955, UCLA Medical Center became Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in 2008, according to its website.“[A]s long as the hospital is associated with a figurehead whose actions were adversarial to health equity for people of color and members of the LGBTQ+ community, these efforts to curb bias in health care ring hollow,” student Sophia Kloster argued in the Daily Bruin.She cited then-Calif.
