Medical Schools Press Ahead Answering ‘Clarion Call’ to Wokeness
Medical school mission statements are becoming increasingly laden with diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and social justice language, a report released Monday found.
Do No Harm, a medical advocacy organization working to keep DEI and other political topics out of medicine, reviewed 158 medical school mission statements and found that 77% could be classified as “woke” in 2024, a number that increased substantially from 68% in 2021, according to a report first shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation. The report also found that “Higher ranked medical schools were more likely to increase the wokeness of their mission.”

The Republican Party — the Arizona Republican Party (AZGOP), the Republican National Committee, and the Yavapai County Republican Party — sued Fontes over the illegal changes. Even though progressive election attorney Marc Elias and top Democratic law firm Perkins Coie represented the defendants, the court found that the 2023 version of the EPM was invalid since Fontes only provided half the time for public comment that Arizona’s Administrative Procedures Act (APA) requires.
