The University of North Carolina (UNC) medical school disbanded its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) task force without implementing its recommendations, just months after banning DEI statements from admission, hiring, promotion and tenure.
UNC said it plans to disband its DEI Task Force, without implementing its recommendations, including integrating social justice into the school's curriculum.
The UNC DEI document also included recommendations that were partially based on the DEI protocols of the Association of American Medical Colleges that requires students to study topics like "Unconscious Bias Awareness," "Understanding and Responding to Microaggressions," and "Understanding that America's medical system is structurally racist."
In April, the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), which monitors and advocates for free speech on college campuses sent a letter to UNC regarding its DEI initiatives.

Groups such as FIRE should be commended for their constant work on these issues.
BTTT
Winning one step at a time.
Good to see the twinkling of a single source of sanity appearing in Academia. Let’s hope it spreads.
Note CMS is paying for these initiatives and money is powerful. The AAPS has a great webinar for reviewing the absolute truth in this.
Does anyone know the racial make up of the DEI administrators in universities? Do they align with the racial makeup of the universities or are they exempt from diversity?
“The University of North Carolina (UNC) medical school disbanded its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) task force...”
But, unfortunately, there are many others that think DEI is more important that patients’ health or a doctor’s skill.
“States push back against Diversity, Equity, Inclusion in universities”

” A coalition of education experts, governors and lawmakers are pushing back against the “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” policies that have become the norm in public colleges and universities around the country. Several states have legislative efforts underway to require intellectual diversity, and professors tell The Center Square they welcome the change.
Texas is the latest state to take on DEI, a broad category that employs teams of administrators to enforce equity and racial policies at the educational institution.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed legislation this week that would stop taxpayer funding for DEI programs at public colleges and universities.”
Go TARHEALS!
I will trust this when all that signed onto the DIE programs are fired with prejudice — as in “You cannot be employed in the NC state by any organization receiving public funds.”
Perhaps there is some hope left for the imploding medical industry.
