Sen. Blackburn Urges Vanderbilt Medical Center to End DEI Programs

Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., urged Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) to “end all DEI programs and fully comply” with President Donald Trump’s recent executive order.

Trump last month signed an executive order directing that programs or activities receiving any remaining Department of Education funds do not advance DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) or gender ideology.

Blackburn on Tuesday sent a letter to VUMC President Jeffrey Balser regarding reports that the medical center has begun concealing its DEI programs instead of fully complying with Trump’s executive action.
