1/5 PLEASE READ AND RETWEET The following text is taken in part from the petition that was circulated throughout MCW. “The Wisconsin Association of Scholars will be holding a (non-sanctioned) event at MCW next week focusing on the “degrading influence of woke ideology”.
@mcwosid you're tweeting about #ThrowbackThursday yet remain publically silent on the #DEI issues occuring @MedicalCollege that @MCWPresident has also remained silent on. That about 1000 members of your community signed a petition denouncing. Do better. For Everyone.
