[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can't they clean up the area around it?  Why are the better Maryland schools in pg County and ghetto bmore?[/quote]

Where do you think JHU gets the free cadavers? Lots of homeless people there.

Same as GWU Med School. They have an incinerator in a basement next to Foggy Bottom Metro where bodies get disposed. It's an open secrete that Foggy Bottom residents are not aware of...

Um . . .so?  Don't you want your doctors to get the full training?[/quote]

Less conspiracy theory laden version of PP: I think the Johns Hopkins med school and hospital complex do have a problematic relationship with the surrounding poor, African American communities.  JHU has pushed for several urban renewal projects in the area, promising local residents that they would bring jobs and improve the quality of life in the neighborhoods.  Instead people have been forced out of some areas, and others have been purposefully left to decay.  JHU needs human subjects and populations to study, and has this neo-colonial relationship with the surrounding neighborhoods, acting as if these poor populations are a natural resource that can be exploited to produce studies-but despite hundred of years of being studied, the people in those neighborhoods are no better off, and probably worse off.
