This change became apparent after a federal court struck down a Florida statute that would have placed restrictions on “woke” education.
An exclusive study acquired by Fox News Digital reveals how the University of Florida College of Medicine uses critical race theory in its curriculum and admissions practices.
According to Do No Harm, a medical group that fights against racist healthcare policy, the University of California trains future “antiracists” through “equity” projects. Examples include creating a code of conduct that addresses unconscious prejudice and actively recruiting students from “underrepresented groups.”
The University’s “practice of indoctrinating students at its medical schools with radical social justice discourse and advocacy” extends to the School of Medicine. The conditioning of students begins as soon as they show interest in UFCOM and continues through their admissions process and Ph.D. studies.
Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, found that “new students experience the diversity, equity, and inclusion philosophy early and frequently in the multiple encounters with the numerous health equity offices and diversity councils around campus,” according to Laura Morgan, who recently earned her Master of Science in Nursing. The University of Florida still employs administrators and faculty whose livelihoods depend on the ongoing success of these damaging activities.
An image of students kneeling on the ground with their fists up and a banner stating “#WHITECOATSFORBLACKLIVES” was posted on the admissions office’s website.
The admissions page for UFCOM states, “We strive for an admissions culture that is thoughtful, informed, and inclusive, focused on developing a diverse community of future physicians who share a devotion to excellence and equity in healthcare.”
“Black Lives Matter” is stated under the section labeled “Resources for Combating Systemic Racism,” which also contains “Guidelines for Being a Strong White Ally.”
The institution “actively supports the recruitment and retention of underrepresented groups” in its student body, residency programs, academic positions, and other areas, as stated in the diversity statement. Dr. Donna M. Parker, the associate dean for diversity and health equality, has called for more effort to counteract bias in how the medical community treats marginalized people.
Parker said doctors “ought to transcend our preconceptions by being aware of them.” Every one of our patient’s health and happiness is our number one concern. This is the standard by which all other patient assessments must be measured.
College of Medicine spokesperson Doug Bennett noted that the institution’s commitment to diversity and inclusion must be upheld by all units and offices.
Bennett stated to Fox News Digital, “We have a robust admissions process that attracts students from all backgrounds, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds.”
When considering an applicant’s demographics, we do not consider any factors that may cause us to break the law in any given state. The health of our patients is affected by a wide range of factors, some of which are beyond our control.
The report on the University of Florida College of Medicine was released just days after a federal court struck down a Florida law that sought to prevent public universities from imposing “a condition of employment, membership, certification, licensing, credentialing, or passing an examination” that singles out a specific identity as superior or inferior. The scholar’s First Amendment rights were violated, and the court called them “priests of democracy.”
The report estimates that in 2017, $2.1 million was allocated to diversity programs at the University of Florida. The “diversity and equity triumphs” of top-level management decide who gets included in the Equity Report.
The library is the meeting place for the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion group at the George A. Smathers School of Medicine. Customers at one library demanded that the Karl Marx section be renamed, so staff members made the change.
Students who complete 14 diversity education requirements and demonstrate an understanding of how those requirements “improve the integrity and efficacy of the search and selection process” are awarded a General Inclusive Hiring Badge.
