CriticalRace.org Report: “The schools, particularly the medical schools, are hanging on to DEI, like survivors on a shipwreck, and they’re hoping for a rescue…. They’re not giving it up.”
. . . "Medical schools across the U.S. are rebranding their diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) departments as the Trump administration increases scrutiny of DEI programs in higher education and medicine, according to a new report by CriticalRace.org.
"The report, which examined six medical schools, found that although the departments have been renamed, their programming has remained largely unchanged, despite some softened language since President Donald Trump began his second term in 2025.
“'The rebranding is not really meaningful in a sense,” William Jacobson, a Cornell Law School professor and founder of the Equal Protection Project, told Fox News Digital. “The programming hasn’t changed and a lot of the examples, and I think there’s a couple in our report, they simply shift programs over to a different department or under a different name, but the programming hasn’t really changed.”
"The medical schools profiled in the report include Drexel University College of Medicine, Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell, Saint Louis University School of Medicine, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University, and the University of Nevada-Reno School of Medicine (UNR Med). CriticalRace.org’s report notes that the schools often used terms such as “belonging,” “engagement” and “excellence” in names of what appeared to be rebranded DEI departments." . . .
. . . “The federal and state governments can help, but we need a long-term effort over many years to change the culture on campuses to a culture of equality, not a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion,” he told Fox News Digital." . . .
