DEI = Didn’t Earn It. Whoever came up with that deserves to be memorialized in the Oxford English Dictionary.
The past few months have made to clear to all who can admit it that DEI is just a new term for racial discrimination and that this racial discrimination requires hiring the incompetent in order to fill ideologically motivated quotas.
Natalie Perry is tasked with “embedding” her values in the med school’s “DNA” as the leader of the DEI program Cultural North Star. But she couldn’t even write that in her bio without illiterate errors (“North Stars [sic] value [sic]”). So: Did this person actually earn a PhD? pic.twitter.com/sqJ6nHSOQh

The latest example of this is the case of UCLA Medical School’s DEI director, who is tasked with teaching its medical students to “do what’s right.”
The right thing to do, apparently, is steal from more competent people to get ahead. Natalie Perry, it appears, can barely put two words together to form a coherent sentence, but she managed to be awarded a Ph. D. and snag a job teaching top-tier medical students that people can be “two-spirit” and that witch doctors can teach them a thing or two.
Recent headlines about UCLA School of Medicine suggest that the institution has lost its focus. Instead of brushing up on organic chemistry, its students were subjected to lessons on “Indigenous womxn” and “two-spirits.” Future doctors had to take a class on “structural racism” and were led in a “Free Palestine” chant by a Hamas-praising guest speaker. The school made plans to segregate students by race for courses on left-wing ideology, and two of its psychiatry residents championed “revolutionary suicide.”
Why has the school charted this course? One reason is its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion ideology. UCLA has a DEI program called “Cultural North Star,” and at the medical school, it is led by Natalie J. Perry. Her official biography says her job is to “embed our aspirational Cultural North Stars [sic] value [sic] in our organizational DNA.” UCLA honored Perry last month for teaching students to “do what’s right,” saying her “empathy and radical listening” are to thank for her “success as an educator and a leader.”
UCLA, you may recall, was recently in the news as two of its psychiatry residents gave a lecture about self-immolation being a revolutionary act, not an example of a mentally ill person who desperately needed help.
This is how medical ethics are taught at UCLA.
Perry has joined the ranks of the academic frauds who have been exposed as plagiarists.
Perry was so lazy that the first pages of her paper stole from the first page of multiple other papers. Here’s a passage taken from a paper by Adalberto Aguirre Jr. and Ruben Martinez, who were never mentioned anywhere in Perry’s paper. pic.twitter.com/CZiP3BQ08h

Luke Rosiak and Christopher Rufo have exposed the fraud, and it is so unambiguous–indeed it is OBVIOUS–that the people who hired her either must have known or have been so indifferent to her intelligence and competence that they hired her without bothering to look.
One has to wonder about her dissertation advisor as well. Were they in on it, or were they just too afraid to expose a Black woman as a fraud? Was it an act of solidarity? Hostility to academia? Did they even read the dissertation?
Who knows? Who cares, really? Academia has given up on its mission and adopted a different one: destroy America. Credentials are a weapon, nothing more. I suspect that every candidate in the oppression studies field could submit the same dissertation and be granted a Ph. D. After all, nobody reads the work anyway.
According to a Daily Wire and City Journal investigation, however, Perry’s academic career is based on fraud. Perry has published a single paper, a 2014 Ph.D. dissertation at the University of Virginia about how colleges should create larger DEI programs. An analysis of the paper found it ridden with the worst sort of plagiarism, reproducing large swaths of text directly from several other authors, without citations. The scale of the plagiarism suggests that Perry lacks both ethics and competence and raises questions about academic programs that push DEI.
Perry’s dissertation lifted passages from ten other papers. In key portions of her text, she copied almost every paragraph from other sources without attribution. She fails even to mention at least four of the ten plagiarized papers anywhere in her dissertation.
If Perry had gotten her doctorate based on this and gone off to teach nonsense to blue-haired students it would be bad enough. But she didn’t.
She helps shape the next generation of doctors at one of the most prestigious schools in America. She is the person who is assigned to teach them to do “what is right.”
What Rosiak and Rufo have done is not expose academic fraud. They have exposed the corruption that lies at the heart of our most prestigious institutions and that has produced a medical profession that commits fraud upon its patients.
Consider the COVID pandemic response: almost 100% fraud. Safe and effective? Fraud. “Gender-affirming care?” Fraud. Paxlovid? Fraud.
Riots are public health, for God’s sake. The rot in our academic institutions translates into dangerous and murderous rot in our society.
UCLA MEDICAL SCHOOL! The graduates will be performing medicine for decades and, likely enough, will soon be entrusted to perform euthanasia.
This is who teaches them ethics.
This is who the leadership of UCLA CHOSE to teach medical students ethics.
Think on that.
