Fantastic and beautifully diverse turnout for the first mtg of our newly-formed Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity in EM committee. Inspired by the energy of this group. Proud of our Dept. #DiversityandInclusion @UCDavisEM
What a treat to welcome Dr. @hanjaneway to @UCDavisEM #AcademicForum to discuss #bordermedicine and how to effectively and compassionately care for displaced people in the ED. #healthequity #asylum #migration #emergencymedicine
So excited to welcome Visiting Underrepresented Scholar Chetiwe Kapila to the Department! @UCDavisEM

In banning affirmative action, the Supreme Court has *not* banned using race in college admissions. "Race neutral" is a legal fantasy, the latest to conserve racism. As Uma Jayakumar and I write @TheAtlantic, “race neutral” is the new “separate but equal.”

Disappointed but definitely not surprised. Nevertheless, we will persist.
Like the staggered start in track and field, affirmative action is intended to account for historical inequities experienced by marginalized communities in higher education and other endeavors. Today, the Supreme Court has decided that this tool is no longer appropriate.
