Western med schools exclude students from certain states

UNLV students who apply to certain institutions will not be accepted no matter their qualifications because of a UNR policy agreement

Higher education institutions within the Western Interstate Commission of Higher Education (WICHE) have informal agreements that allows for decisions on medical school admissions to be based on where an applicant resides without regard to academic achievement.

Under WICHEs Professional Student Exchange Program (PSEP), which includes the University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine (UNSOM), institutions have the option to refrain from admitting applicants from other states with medical schools.

That means that UNLV students who apply to a medical school that participates in PSEP can be denied admittance no matter their qualifications because there is a medical school at UNR.

The states of Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wyoming make up WICHE.

WWAMI, a partnership between the University of Washington School of Medicine and the states of Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana and Idaho, which makes up the acronym, also seeks to provide its residents with opportunities to attend medical school.

Some of the medical schools in the system no longer engage in the practice of rejecting students due to their place of residence. But historically, institutions within WICHE were not allowed to consider any out-of-state applicants to a medical school if they lived in a state with a public medical school.

The University of Nevada, [Reno] School of Medicine still adheres strictly to that, Nika said.

The University of Colorado School of Medicine also continues to practice stringent admissions policies.

Memphis, TN-The AutoZone Liberty Bowl announced today that AutoZone, Inc. (NYSE: AZO), the leading retailer and a leading distributor of automotive parts and accessories in the United States, has extended its title sponsorship agreement with the AutoZone Liberty Bowl for six additional years. The extended agreement will begin with the 2014 college football season and continue through the 2019 season. AutoZone has been a key sponsor of the AutoZone Liberty Bowl for 20 years and has served as the title sponsor of the Bowl game since 2004.

AutoZone is very proud to continue as the title sponsor of one of Americas most revered college bowl games, the AutoZone Liberty Bowl, said Bill Giles, CFO and Executive Vice President at AutoZone. With 56 years of history and tradition, the AutoZone Liberty Bowl has established a significant position and rich legacy and is embedded as a part of the fabric of collegiate communities across America. It is extremely important to all of us at AutoZone that we support this nationally recognized event that showcases Memphis and joins together three outstanding brands AutoZone, the AutoZone Liberty Bowl and St. Jude Childrens Research Hospital.

On behalf of the AutoZone Liberty Bowl, our board of directors and dedicated volunteers, we are thrilled to announce our continued partnership with AutoZone, said Steve Ehrhart, Executive Director of the AutoZone Liberty Bowl. We are so grateful to have AutoZone, a very strong hometown community-focused Fortune 500 company, as our title sponsor. With this announcement and our new partnerships with the SEC and Big 12 Conference, we are very excited about the future of the AutoZone Liberty Bowl.

In 2013, the AutoZone Liberty Bowl announced new, six-year partnerships with the Southeastern Conference (SEC) and Big 12 Conference, two of the top conferences in college football. The SEC versus Big 12 rivalry in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl will begin in 2014 and continue through 2019.

Each year, the AutoZone Liberty Bowl generates a local economic impact of $25-$30 million and brings thousands of visitors to Memphis. Since 2000, the AutoZone Liberty Bowls average annual attendance is over 57,000 spectators.

This announcement between AutoZone and the AutoZone Liberty Bowl marks a truly great day for the city of Memphis, said A C Wharton, Jr., Memphis Mayor. The partnership between one of our most beloved and celebrated community events and one of Memphis most successful corporate citizens exemplifies the great things we can accomplish by working together.

The AutoZone Liberty Bowl provides a tremendous economic and cultural impact for our community, said Mark Luttrell, Shelby County Mayor. The citizens of Shelby County and surrounding areas will continue to have the opportunity to enjoy the highest level of college football and the patriotic message of the AutoZone Liberty Bowl in the coming years.
