...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US...'s Executive Order on ending diversity, equity and inclusion programs at educational institutions.
The letter comes after VUMC reportedly took steps to hide many of its DEI resources as opposed to getting rid of them, following the president's Executive Orders.
Consumers Research, a conservative nonprofit that was following medical schools' responses to Trump's orders on ending DEI discovered that VUMC was taking steps to hide some of theirs behind password-protected web pages. In response to criticism, a VUMC spokesperson told Fox News Digital at the time that it was undergoing "a thorough review" of its programs to figure out "where revisions may be required to remain in compliance, including updating information on websites and other public platforms."
According to an updated review, VUMC's Office of Diversity and Inclusion website remains behind a password-protected web page. Same with the DEI web page on VUMC's Department of Medicine website, resources touting "climate care is health care," and a web page for the school's "Inaugural Climate Change Action & Sustainability Summit." Other resources which had previously appeared to be hidden behind password protected web pages — rather than deleted — such as a YouTube video about "The War on DEI," appear to have been deleted since criticism over the matter was unleashed against the school.
