Health watchdog: Nation’s social work accreditor refuses to remove DEI requirements
- The Council on Social Work Education reaffirmed its commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and anti-racism standards in social work accreditation and refused to remove these requirements despite opposition from Do No Harm, a medical watchdog group.
- CSWE requires social work students to understand the impact of White supremacy and to demonstrate anti-racist and anti-oppressive practices, which Do No Harm challenges as ideological mandates.
- CSWE CEO Halaevalu Vakalahi emphasized that understanding human differences and discrimination is essential for social workers and stated that CSWE has never denied accreditation based on DEI policies.
- Kurt Miceli, chief medical officer of Do No Harm, criticized CSWE for prioritizing ideological activism over practical competence and suggested that state-level actions might be necessary if DEI standards are not removed.
