Missouri State University is continuing its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) spending, even as public sentiment and many state lawmakers have turned against it.

When it comes to Type-2 diabetes, the health-care establishment appears to agree that the prevalence of 1.04 cases per 1,000 among 15- to 19-year-olds is cause for alarm. Diabetes Care, the flagship journal of the American Diabetes Association, noted in 2009 […]
