The University of Minnesota Quickly Cleans Up a Discriminatory Pre-Health Program In Response to a Federal Civil Rights Investigation

The University of Minnesota (UMN) has changed the eligibility criteria for a pre-health student scholars program that was illegally discriminating on the basis of race. Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits such discrimination, and the Health Profession Pathways initiative at UMN was excluding certain students based on their race, color, or national origin.
In the complaint filed with the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) on May 27, 2023, Do No Harm program manager Laura Morgan provided evidence of racial discrimination in the eligibility criteria of the Pathways program. According to the program’s website (archived page), students must “Identify with one or more of the following, which included “and/or from a racial or ethnic population that is underrepresented in the health professions.”

‘DEI’ Is an Enemy of Free Speech, Not a Friend

Hospital System Injects Woke DEI Practices Into Northeast Georgia

How do “diversity, equity, and inclusion” policies and practices find their way into unexpected places outside of major city centers and deep blue states?
A major hospital system in Georgia’s northeastern corner, one of the reddest parts of the state, provides an answer.
Northeast Georgia Health System (NGHS) serves about 1 million residents in 19 counties. NGHS is a five-campus, not-for-profit 850-bed community health system that counts itself among the 20 largest employers in the Atlanta region. Its more than 9,000 employees include a medical staff of about 1,500 representing 60 specialties.

White Coats for Black Lives breaks their silence to demand apologies for terrorist sympathizers

On October 7th, Hamas butchered more than 1,200 men, women, and children in southern Israel. Within days, the medical student association “White Coats for Black Lives” (WC4BL) accused Israel of committing “genocide.” The Minnesota chapter clarified that Palestinians should “free themselves from their oppressors by any means necessary.”
Neither the national organization nor Minnesota chapter faced any professional sanction. Ostensibly emboldened by the lack of consequences for espousing blood libel and calls to genocide, the national organization released a new statement on November 8th complaining that some medical professionals who voiced similarly despicable ideas did in fact suffer consequences.

Sorry, Vituity: Discrimination and Segregation Are Wrong.

Vituity, a healthcare staffing company, has an odd solution for improving patient health: Blatant racial discrimination. The proof is its new sponsorship of a racist scholarship for the Society of Hospital Medicine.

The scholarship is dedicated to advancing “diversity, equity, and inclusion,” with a special focus on “eliminating health disparities for hospitalized patients.” Naturally, it’s only available to applicants who are “underrepresented in medicine.” That’s a nod to minorities, and it’s a clear-cut case of racial discrimination.

Discrimination Comes To Thoracic Surgery

The Thoracic Surgery Foundation is the latest medical organization to engage in racial discrimination. A source pointed us toward several concerning scholarships for 2024. Like so many other institutions in medicine, the Foundation is downplaying merit in favor of skin color, which ultimately puts patient health at risk.

The scholarships in question are the “Underrepresented Robotic General Thoracic Surgeon Development Award” and the “The Levi Watkins Innovation and Leadership Development Scholarship.” Both are only available to applicants who are “underrepresented” in medicine. That’s code for racial and ethnic minorities whose representation in the medical profession is less than their share of the national population. It’s also blatant discrimination.

Dr. Stanley Goldfarb Recognizes Wisconsin State Assembly Speaker Vos for Stance Against DEI in Medical Education

The University of Wisconsin System recently announced it will use $32 million from state budget funds to expand healthcare training in the state. However, Wisconsin State Assembly Speaker Robin Vos has stated that no money will be released until the UW System eliminates all DEI initiatives.

Read the letter Do No Harm chairman Dr. Stanley Goldfarb sent to Speaker Vos, asking him to give special consideration to removing DEI in the medical education programs at UW. “This issue goes well beyond the quality of the education they provide,” Dr. Goldfarb said. “Ultimately, it affects the health and well-being of everyone who will one day be treated by the physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals they teach.”

Rep. Murphy’s Fight For Fairness and Free Speech In Congress

Should medical schools force students or faculty to believe in “diversity, equity, and inclusion”? For that matter, should any institution of higher education? The obvious answer is a resounding “no,” yet federal law isn’t so clear. So kudos to Rep. Greg Murphy from North Carolina for fighting to enshrine fairness and free speech in the laws of the land.

Rep. Murphy, who’s a licensed doctor, recently introduced an amendment to the appropriations bill for Labor and Health and Human Services.
