At Duke Medical School, Race-Based Promotion Guidelines Reward Doctors for Recruiting 'BIPOC Faculty'
Attorneys say the guidelines could make Duke a target for the Trump administration
Duke Medical School has adopted race-based promotion guidelines that reward doctors for recruiting and mentoring "BIPOC faculty" and "targeting specific groups of people," language attorneys say appears to violate civil rights law and could put the school in the crosshairs of the Trump administration.The "Appointment, Promotion and Tenure Framework for Scholarship in Justice, Equity, Diversity, Antiracism and Inclusion" guidelines—which were posted on a Duke University website as of July 3—list a slew of race-conscious efforts as "promotable activities." Faculty can help their tenure case by "strengthening ties with Hispanic-serving institutions and historically Black colleges"; advising "BIPOC" trainees; leading K-12 programs that "foster a diverse pipeline of potential learners from BIPOC and other marginalized groups"; and devising strategies to "measurably increase the number of BIPOC learners."
