As MAGA nears taking control of the highest office in the land, more companies, (MacDonalds being the latest) and colleges are ditching their DEI initiatives. They’re under pressure from the far-right to dissolve efforts that aren’t totally based on merit, but as we know, hires and admissions are not always based on merit. According to ChatGPT: “The backlash against DEI highlights a deeper cultural divide over how to address inequality, systemic racism, and social progress. While supporters of DEI argue that these initiatives are critical for fairness and representation, opponents believe they perpetuate division, unfairness, and an ideological shift away from traditional values. This conflict reflects broader tensions in the U.S. about race, gender, and identity politics, making DEI a flashpoint in ongoing cultural and political battles.” One area where it’s imperative equality be practiced is in healthcare and clinical trials. Humans are not the same and we know illness can manifest itself differently among people of different genders, ages and races.
