On February 14, the Department of Education officially notified educational institutions receiving federal funding that they must cease race-based practices—including admissions, hiring, promotion, scholarships, administrative support, discipline, and sanctions. The potential loss of federal funding is offered as a consequence for noncompliance. This directive comes on the heels of President Donald Trump’s January 21 executive order aimed at “ending illegal discrimination and restoring merit-based opportunity.”
In recent years, many universities had ramped up DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) programs on campus—some admittedly as a response to the death of George Floyd and the resulting racial climate. Initiatives have run the gamut from the formation of so-called racial-affinity groups to race-based admissions and hiring practices. However, many have become weary of DEI in medicine, as deviations from merit-based practices can put patients in harm’s way.
According to the Chronicle of Higher Education, changes to DEI initiatives have taken place at no fewer than 270 college campuses in 38 states. These moves range from Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine scrubbing the DEI pages of multiple departments, as well as mentions of black affinity groups, to the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus opening to all applicants a scholarship for underrepresented students. The University of Texas at Austin even defunded a school-sanctioned graduation ceremony for black students following state-level DEI legislation in 2024.
However, not everyone is complying. According to Consumers’ Research, a conservative nonprofit, Vanderbilt University Medical Center appears to be hiding DEI content via password-protected webpages. Consumers’ Research created WhatIsVandyHiding.com to bring attention to the Nashville-based institution.

Ok.
So how about telling the airlines to stop discriminating...

White guys need not apply.
Meanwhile, med school enrollments are up.
But unless residency slots have increased as well, fat lot of good higher enrollment will do.
Funny how that works...
Let the schools dissolve and the efficient operators will survive.
Anybody want to go to a DEI doctor?
When you get surgery, do you want the best doctor you can get or one that was selected by his/her skin color or sexual preference or gender affiliation?
It’s so long overdue. The Clintons started this in the 1990’s to deliberately discriminate against American students, and especially white males.
Nope!
I want the best one regardless of sex or skin color!
Stop discriminating against whitey.
