UCLA med school DEI leader accused of major plagiarism refuses to address allegations
The College Fix ^ | 30 May 2024 | Mary Mobley

Another university diversity, equity, and inclusion administrator is facing allegations of plagiarism – but neither she nor her employer, the University of California at Los Angeles, has responded publicly to the report.

Natalie Perry, the leader of the Cultural North Star program at the UCLA School of Medicine, and UCLA did not answer multiple requests for comment from The College Fix since a recent investigation alleged she plagiarized large portions of her doctoral dissertation.

Perry runs the Cultural North Star program, which works to “build and maintain an inclusive … culture” within the UCLA School of Medicine. She also holds a position on the medical school’s Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Team.

UCLA’s and Perry’s silence comes as the med school faces scorching criticism after whistleblowers sounded the alarm that the school is admitting underqualified racial minorities under DEI rubrics and “a third to a half of the medical school is incredibly unqualified.”

Another DEI academic fraud - although I would argue that anyone working in DEI is a fraud.

Are there any DEIs that actually EARNED their degrees? I suspect not, although there are other minorities that certainly did earn their degrees (Thomas Sowell and Ben Carson come to mind).

Maybe she can’t respond until someone else writes it for her.

UCLA med school has a DEI program called “Cultural North Star,” led by sap-happy Natalie J. Perry (above). Her official bio says her job is to “embed our aspirational Cultural North Star DEI values in our organizational DNA.” UCLA honored Perry last month for teaching students to “do what’s right,” saying her “empathy and radical listening” are to thank for her “success as an educator and a leader.”

A Daily Wire and City Jnal investigation found Perry’s academic career is based on outright fraud. <>Perry published a single paper, a 2014 Ph.D. dissertation at the U of Va <>about how colleges should create larger DEI programs. <>but the paper was ridden with the worst sort of plagiarism, <>she reproduced large swaths of text directly from several other authors, without citations. <>The scale of her plagiarism suggests that Perry lacks both ethics and competence <>and raises questions about academic programs that push DEI. Perry’s dissertation lifted passages from ten other papers. <>In key portions of her text, she copied almost every paragraph from other sources without attribution. <>She failed to even mention at least four of the ten plagiarized papers anywhere.

UCLA’s and Perry’s silence WRT her flagrant plagiarism comes as the med school faces scorching criticism after whistleblowers sounded the alarm that the school is admitting under-qualified racial minorities under DEI rubrics and “a third to a half of the medical school is incredibly unqualified.”

If she gains some more weight, she will look like the Ghettopotamus in Georgia.

I always thought that ______ Studies degrees were created so that nobody would ever have to do that for a long while. It’s pretty much an open table unlike sciences where allot of the work to get a degree is determining that somebody else hasn’t done it before. So she poached some manure from another person’s pile. How democrat of her.

Of course. Always.

If they had genuine academic credentials, they would have some other job.

“Are there any DEIs that actually EARNED their degrees? I suspect not, although there are other minorities that certainly did earn their degrees (Thomas Sowell and Ben Carson come to mind).”

Throw in Walter Williams and Clarence Thomas and I think that would pretty much cover it. That’s 4. Out of 40 million.

Carol Swain. She’s the one whose original works were plagiarized by the Ivy League cheaters.
