So grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with my brilliant friends and colleagues on this project @royeljohnson @marsha_modeste
3 Feb 2023
There has been an increase in the appointment of chief equity officers in school districts nationally. But are these folks positioned to carry out transformational change for racial equity? My colleagues and I share some thoughts here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.âŚ

Attorneys play an important role in shaping the actions and responses of educational institutions in the current climate. @MunizRaquel88 and I argue that we need more research that focuses on or includes these influential institutional actors.

The Supreme Court's decision to strike down affirmative action, including in professional schools, like medical and nursing, will have detrimental consequences on Black health for generations to come. This is about life & death for us. Today, we are only 5% of physicians.
