Appologies For an Article We Should Not Have Run


Appologies For an Article We Should Not Have Run
A reader called to our attention that we ran an article that actually was opposed to the DEI policies of one of Wisconsin`s best educational institutions. The article was titled "Wisconsin med school fully embrace DEI" and the Meta Data we get from our search algorithm read positive as well. The actual article went on to label the DEI policy "divisive and discriminatory", which is not true. This type of media manipulation is all too common and is being used to create a message around Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion efforts that is unfair and more importantly untrue. This was my mistake and mine alone, This error should not reflect negatively on T1W, WIPPS, or the conference. I am aware of this type of media coverage and how certain organizations are trying to push this message into mainstream media, In this case my oversight means they succeeded. Our goal is to support DEI programs and only run "controversial" articles only when we feel the community needs to know what is being said negatively about DEI efforts. We want to do this by reporting facts not opinion or innuendo as was the case here. The DEI policy of the Medical College of Wisconsin can be found here: https://www.mcw.edu/departments/pediatrics/divisions/pediatrics-residency/our-program/diversity-equity-and-inclusion Reprinted with permission: Hello T1W: I wanted to let you know that the link you shared with respect to WI med school embracing DEI is written by an organization interested in dismantling DEI efforts across medicine, rather than supporting it. The article talks about how DEI efforts in admission processes are going to harm patient care, and that the woke ideologies are unjust and harmful to the state. I understand the value of reading different ideas and perspectives, but I wanted to let you know that I don’t think this article is one that reflects the goals of T1W as I understood them at the conference this year. I might suggest that you remove the link or send a “correction” email identifying the discrepancies between the values of the Do No Harm organization that authored it and T1W.

Hello T1W:

I wanted to let you know that the link you shared with respect to WI med school embracing DEI is written by an organization interested in dismantling DEI efforts across medicine, rather than supporting it.

The article talks about how DEI efforts in admission processes are going to harm patient care, and that the woke ideologies are unjust and harmful to the state.

I understand the value of reading different ideas and perspectives, but I wanted to let you know that I don’t think this article is one that reflects the goals of T1W as I understood them at the conference this year.
