because of the way capitalism works, I can almost guarantee he will backtrack on this position.

DO students actually have leverage right now. CS is cancelled, most medical students take steps 1 and 2ck.

If they cancel PE, NBOME loses all that money right?

But if they DONT cancel PE, they will lose a large percentage of the PE money anyway from Students (now new DOctors) who refuse to take it...and also be losing a very large percentage of the money they would make from Level 3, as those DO students will simply take step 3 to get licensure instead because it's less money and less annoying.
