URM status: African American to Black American?

[powerful_squib]

Is it true that the AAMC changed the status from African American to Black American. My Health Professions Office sent out an email a while ago stating this change? I heard that alot of people were taking advantage of the African American status, that is why they changed it. What do you guys think?
