Medical Schools with DEI Offices
Too often, medical schools use “DEI” as a cover for racially discriminatory practices.
On February 14, the Department of Education gave institutions of higher education receiving federal funds a 14-day deadline to cease all racially discriminatory policies, programs, and practices. The Department noted that many of these offensive policies are justified on the grounds of DEI.
In response, Do No Harm compiled a list of over 70 medical schools that still have an office dedicated to DEI on campus.
These schools should be on notice: racial discrimination will not be tolerated.
If you know of any programs, grants, processes, and/or scholarships at institutions of higher education using race as a factor, let us know! You can submit your tip using the form linked here.
Is your medical school on the list?
