Brown Medical School Uses DEI to Determine Faculty Promotions
“…it’s not about clinical performance.”
Brown University’s medical school won’t drop DEI. From Campus Reform:
The promotion guidelines classify a “[d]emonstrated commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion” as a “Major Criterion” for promotion for several positions. More specifically, it entails pushing for DEI in “Research,” “Teaching,” “Clinical care,” and “Service.”
On the other hand, several positions list “excellent” or “exceptional clinical skills” as a “Minor Criterion”–placing it lower than the “Major Criterion” of promoting DEI. Other “minor” criteria include “[s]ubstantial service contributions,” “[t]eaching contributions,” and “[s]ervice contributions demonstrating a substantial role.”
The overvaluing of DEI above medical skills has drawn some pushback.
Bob Cirincione, an orthopedic surgeon, told The Washington Free Beacon that the school’s guidelines “say what DEI in medical schools is all about. And it’s not about clinical performance.”

Reconsider their accreditation
And cut all federal funds to the school. Everything. Research funds and any student loans.
This just confirms my opinion that Brown is a third-rate medical school. It probably shouldn’t be accredited.
This sort of thing is why I will never voluntarily be in the same room with a so-called medical “professional”.
