Introduction
The idea of diversity contains a number of interrelated concepts, including mixture, variety, different classes, range, and assortment.
Types of Diversity
Although these examples are from Arizona communities, one of the challenges of the nationwide health care industry that administrators will face is that of addressing diversity in any given community. Diversity is not just color or race; it may also include religion, creed, age factors, place of birth, primary language, gender, and sexual orientation.
Race
In the late 1950s, it was common practice for a Woman's Hospital in Michigan to separate the Black maternity patients from the Caucasian maternity patients. On a regular basis, many women were put into ward rooms with two, four, or even more beds unless they could pay extra for private accommodations. However, Black women often suffered further indignities, being put into segregated maternity wards without screens for patient privacy except perhaps one kept in the hall doorway to enclose and shield Black women from the views of other patients and strangers during the doctor's examination.
One of the few Black doctors on staff at the time demanded that a screen, which was usually not in the room, be brought in for personal privacy when he examined his patients. At that hospital and at another large hospital, this doctor was known as an advocate for Black women's rights. Of course, since then, there have been great strides in respecting the ethical and moral rights of minorities and women in health care facilities. (B. Dickens, personal communication, June, 2010)
Religion
Religious factors can also present interesting challenges. The three main American religions, Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish, all have affiliated hospitals that provide services to everyone. Yet each religious hospital offers special accommodations to match the community it serves. For instance, Jewish hospitals maintain kosher dietary preferences and exclusions. There are religious adjustments as well. For example, Catholic hospitals offer Mass services and Jewish hospitals, Sabbath.
Age: Nationwide, children's hospitals commonly admit new patients up to the day they reach their age of eighteen. However, some limit patient population by age groups (e.g., from birth to 18), while others limit patients by diseases (e.g., cancer or orthopedics). In some facilities, a patient who has suffered from a childhood chronic disorder such as cystic fibrosis will be treated throughout adulthood. Some children's hospitals have associations with other facilities. For example, the Phoenix Children's Hospital (PCH) in Arizona has a special relationship with two major hospitals in the Phoenix area. Through this relationship, PCH may transfer their patients, some of whom are adults suffering from certain chronic childhood diseases, to St. Joseph's Hospital in midtown Phoenix. PCH also has a special Adult Congenital Heart Program with the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdal ...

Health inequity is a serious healthcare problem that negatively affects everyone. This problem worsens the health outcomes of the population it directly impacts and those with resources and power. For instance, health disparity makes it hard to control, contain and treat infections illnesses, like the Covid-19, therefore putting everyone at risk of contracting the disease regardless of their socioeconomic class. Culture plays a critical role in patient care and health outcomes and affects our perception of others, health behaviors, and expectations during care delivery. This paper discusses health inequalities, advocacy for families, patients, and community, and cultural competencies. Comment by lola siyanbola: Can you explain how?
Health inequalities involve differences in health resources' distribution of health between different population groups resulting from social conditions in which members of the population are born, live, grow, work and age. The inequalities are basically the systematic differences in the status of health between population groups (Marmot, 2017). The inequalities have substantial economic and social costs to both persons and communities. Social factors including employment status, education level, gender, ethnicity, and level of income affect an individual's health status, therefore creating health disparities among populations due to variations of the social factors (Malbon, 2019). Lower socioeconomic status is associated with poor health outcomes. The appropriate combination of government policies can address these health disparities. Comment by lola siyanbola: This is a fact can you rephrase or cite Comment by lola siyanbola: This is too vague, can you elaborate a little?
I would advocate for patients by connecting them with resources outside and inside the hospital to support their wellbeing and double-check for errors to identify, stop, and correct errors to ensure their safety (Doucette et al., 2018). I would educate the patients on the best way to manage their health conditions and improve their quality of life. Protecting patients' rights and giving them a voice, particularly when vulnerable, is key to safe and quality patient care. I would advocate for families by utilizing my expertise to persuade the hospital authorities about the economic position of the family, their educational level, and their cultural values about patient care. I would advocate for the community by working to ensure community members are adequately and fairly treated in all matters of health.
The first Implicit Association Tests (IAT) reveals that I hold a moderate automatic preference for Arab Muslims with 26% over Other People. This means that I am likely to respond moderately respond faster to the care needs of patients from the Arap Muslim compared to other patients. ...
On August 10, I had the wonderful opportunity to work with a group of amazing individuals to assess the biases present in our current healthcare system. This project was a part of a summer intensive program through MedSTEMPowered.

May 2012, Alice Randall wrote an article for
The New York Times
on the cultural factors that encouraged black women to maintain a weight above what is considered healthy. Randall explained—from her observations and her personal experience as a black woman—that many African-American communities and cultures consider women who are overweight to be more beautiful and desirable than women at a healthier weight. As she put it, “Many black women are fat because we want to be” (Randall, 2012).
Randall’s statements sparked a great deal of controversy and debate; however, they emphasize an underlying reality in the healthcare field: different populations, cultures, and groups have diverse beliefs and practices that impact their health. Nurses and healthcare professionals should be aware of this reality and adapt their health assessment techniques and recommendations to accommodate diversity.
Consider different socioeconomic, spiritual, lifestyle, and other cultural factors that should be taken into considerations when building a health history for patients with diverse backgrounds.
To prepare:
Reflect on your experiences as a nurse and on the information provided in this week’s Learning Resources on diversity issues in health assessments.
Reflect on the specific socioeconomic, spiritual, lifestyle, and other cultural factors related to the health of the patient assigned to you.
Consider how you would build a health history for the patient. What questions would you ask, and how would you frame them to be sensitive to the patient’s background, lifestyle, and culture? Develop five targeted questions you would ask the patient to build his or her health history and to assess his or her health risks.
Think about the challenges associated with communicating with patients from a variety of specific populations. What strategies can you as a nurse employ to be sensitive to different cultural factors while gathering pertinent information?
Post

Introduction
Define Cultural Competency is a well set of congruent or harmonious behaviors, policies, and attitudes that come together in a professional, system, or among agencies that enables actual work in cross-cultural circumstances (HHS, 1997). In our world increasing population growth dealing with cultural and ethnic and racial communities, every people have their own health profiles and cultural personality, so for these things it creates a great challenge for US health care system (Behn J D & Gonwa T, 1992). In United States Cultural Competency is most important to the health care because it’s the best way doctors and patients discuss about health related matter without any cultural differences distressing the conversation but simultaneously enhancing it (HHS, 1997). For a health care organization cultural competency has more benefits. Such as it increases trust, increases respect, decrease unwanted surprises, increases creativity, helps the defeat fear of mistakes, increase involvement from other cultural groups, and promotes fairness and inclusion. Health care organization can show cultural competency by writing a good mission statement that bind to cultural competence as portion of the organizations behavior.
Emerging Standards of Care
According to the United States department of DHHS Office of Minority Health, Incorporated health care attitude must obey the entire person, work diagonally the lifetime, include early intrusion methods and prevention method, and be person-centered, recovery focused and strength-based" (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2000). In the model of healthcare, patient must be treated or cared not only according to usual nursing practice but respect for the people’s belief system with their culture and integrate into the care.
Providers that esteem the languages, cultures, and people’s worldviews they serve are more victorious in activating and engaging individuals, communities and families to be an effective accomplice in their own health care (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2000)
By integrating into people’s care beliefs and requirements, the professional can make rapport with the people in such a good way that must be encourages the people to be functioning or more active in their own health care decisions based on the individual's belief system and professional's medical understanding. Culturally competent care is care that responsive or respectful to an individual's health requirements, beliefs, and practices. This particular type of care is responsive to the individual's religious and cultural beliefs as well as ethnic beliefs that have been revealed to engage individuals into share or in some cases participating in their healthcare.
The skill to provide culturally competent care is most important for all nurses. Those nurses who work in high-stress or high-acuity heal ...

Cultural Sensitivity
Introduction
Cultural sensitivity refers to the awareness as well as the sensitivity to culture and other practices. Cultural sensitivity can encompass examining different cultures and how they should be accurately approached in the health care. It also includes how to communicate according to within the health care setting. Cultural sensitivity is important area because it can impact the way people work in the health care facilities. It also encompasses valuing differences so as harassment and discrimination, either intended or not, do not happen. Culture is a fundamental and complex concept with consist of broad aspects of people in the health care setting (Campinha-Bacote, 2003). It includes the concepts of sexual orientation, gender, faith, age, disability, race, ethnicity, profession and socioeconomic status. Cultural sensitivity stems from this understanding in that; it is must encompass interpersonal skill as well as the knowledge that will allow the providers of health care, appreciate, understand, and work with individuals from different cultures other than theirs. It also consists of acceptance and awareness of the people’s cultural differences, knowledge, self-awareness of the cultures of the patient and adapting to the skills. Many cultural groups, including lesbian and gay people, individuals with disabilities, lower socio-economic groups and ethnic minorities, for example, African-Americans (Campinha-Bacote, 2003). Cultural sensitivity is considered one of the reasons peoples do not access quality health care services because people are not aware as well as understand the effects attached to one’s culture and how it may be perceived by others. An individual's culture should not appear to be dominant in the place of work.
Healthcare Disparities and How they Relate to Cultural Sensitivity in the Healthcare Setting
Health care disparities, by definition, refer to the differences in health as well as healthcare between population groups. It typically involves a higher burden of illness, mortality experienced in the health care setting, disabilities, and injury by one population group about another. Moreover, it refers to the differences between groups in the health care facilities regarding provision of care services, its access, and quality given. This issue are related to the people’s cultural sensitivity in that the issue surrounds this concept are based on socioeconomic status, gender, sexual orientation, age, and disability status. Similarly, cultural insensitivity arises from disparities that in return causes care limit as well as continued improvement in overall quality of cares (Campinha-Bacote, 2003). Health care disparities can be exacerbated by looking at some things that comprise specific health conditions, provider biases, differences in access to care, poor patient-provider comm ...
Defining a Culturally Competent Organization Culturally competent .docxvickeryr87
Defining a Culturally Competent Organization Culturally competent health care, broadly defined as services that are respectful of and responsive to the cultural and linguistic needs of patients, is increasingly viewed as essential in reducing racial and ethnic disparities, improving health care quality, and controlling costs. The U.S. government considers cultural competence as a method of increasing access to quality care for all patients. The aim should be to develop systems more responsive to diverse populations. Managed care organizations view cultural competence as driving both quality and business. By embedding cultural competence strategies into quality improvement initiatives to make care more efficient and effective, clinical outcomes are improved while costs are controlled. Those in academic settings agree that cultural competency education is crucial for preparing future health care workers, although appropriate education on the topic is provided in only half of the medical schools in the United States (Betancourt, Green, Carrillo, & Park, 2005). According to the Office of Minority Health, cultural competence refers to the ability of health care providers and organizations to understand and respond effectively to the cultural and linguistic needs of patients (Office of Minority Health, 2001). Cultural competence encompasses a wide range of activities and considerations. It includes providing respectful care that is consistent with cultural health beliefs of the clients and family members. Competent interpreter services and programs to promote staff diversity are other ways in which health care organizations can increase cultural competence (Clancy & Stryer, 2001). Because communication is a cornerstone of patient safety and quality care, every patient has the right to receive information in a manner he or she understands. Effective communication allows patients to participate more fully in their care. Communicating effectively with patients is also critical to the informed consent process and helps practitioners and hospitals give the best possible care. For communication to be effective, the information provided must be complete, accurate, timely, unambiguous, and understood by the patient. Many patients of varying circumstances require alternative communication methods: patients who speak and/or read languages other than English; patients who have limited literacy in any language; patients who have visual or hearing impairments; patients on ventilators; patients with cognitive impairments; and children. The hospital has many options available to assist in communication with these individuals, such as interpreters, translated written materials, pen and paper, communication boards, and speech therapy. It is up to the hospital to determine which method is the best for each patient. Various laws, regulations, and guidelines are relevant to the use of interpreters. These include Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, 1964; Executive Order .

Embracing Diversity in Healthcare
By Susan Birk
I
n approaching the complex, sometimes contro-
versial and profoundly important subject of
diversity, ACHE Chairman Gayle L. Capozzalo,
FACHE, believes it comes down to respect.
"I believe that the bedrock principle upon which our
endeavors to provide compassionate and culturally
competent care is based is respect," Capozzalo, execu-
tive vice president. Strategy and System Development,
Yale New Haven (Conn.) Health System, said during
the 2012 American Hospital Association Annual
Meeting May 6—9. "We embrace diversity because it is
fundamentally about respect, and we believe it is both
an ethical and business imperative that can improve
our organization's quality, safety and services."
Implicit in her words is what some leaders might call les-
son No. 1 about this issue: Diversity is not merely a jaded
nod in the direction of affirmative action (although
affirmative action is an important element of diversity
programs). Nor is it a "social program" to be delegated to
Human Resources. Rather, it requires a desire by senior
leadership to welcome many perspectives and differences
and to inculcate respect and appreciation for those per-
spectives as a basic organizational value.
More Than Policies
Patricia Harris, global chief diversity officer of
McDonald's Corp., sums it up in the title of her
book: None of Us Is as Good as All of Us: How
McDonald's Prospers by Embracing Inclusion and
Diversity (Wiley, 2009).
"You need to embed in your organization's culture
the recognition that diversity and equal treatment
are not simply policies to be policed," says Susan M.
Nordstrom Lopez, FACHE, president of Advocate
Illinois Masonic Medical Center, Chicago.
"It has to come from inside," she says. "And like
all organizational values, it has to come from the
top, and it has to be observed consistently
throughout the organization." That inclusivity
applies to race, generation, gender, ethnicity, reli-
gious affiliation, culture and sexual orientation.
And it holds true whether attending to the cultural
needs of patients, building a workforce or develop-
ing a leadership team that mirrors the community
it serves.
Signs of Progress
The healthcare sector's progress in this regard has
been "somewhere between fair and significant,"
says Frederick D. Hobby, president and CEO of
the Institute for Diversity in Health Management,
Chicago. According to Hobby, evidence of prog-
ress can be seen in the national call to action to
eliminate healthcare disparities launched last year
by the American Association of Medical Colleges,
ACHE, American Hospital Association, Catholic
Health Association of the United States and
National Association of Public Hospitals and
Health Systems.
The Equity of Care initiative aims to: (1) increase
the collection and use of race, ethnicity and lan-
guage (REAL) preference data by hospitals and
health systems, (2) increase cultural competency

Achieving Health Justice: Addressing Disparities in Healthcare is a phrase that
refers to the idea that all individuals should have access to high-quality and
equitable healthcare, regardless of their background. Health justice is a concept
that encompasses the idea that healthcare is a basic human right and that all
individuals should have access to the resources and opportunities they need to
maintain good health. This phrase highlights the importance of addressing

Many patients of varying circumstances require alternative communication methods: patients who speak and/or read languages other than English; patients who have limited literacy in any language; patients who have visual or hearing impairments; patients on ventilators; patients with cognitive impairments; and children. The hospital has many options available to assist in communication with these individuals, such as interpreters, translated written materials, pen and paper, communication boards, and speech therapy. It is up to the hospital to determine which method is the best for each patient. Various laws, regulations, and guidelines are relevant to the use of interpreters. These include Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, 1964; Executive Order .

ALL OF US
Embracing Diversity in Healthcare
By Susan Birk
I
n approaching the complex, sometimes contro-
versial and profoundly important subject of
diversity, ACHE Chairman Gayle L. Capozzalo,
FACHE, believes it comes down to respect.
"I believe that the bedrock principle upon which our
endeavors to provide compassionate and culturally
competent care is based is respect," Capozzalo, execu-
tive vice president. Strategy and System Development,
Yale New Haven (Conn.) Health System, said during
the 2012 American Hospital Association Annual
Meeting May 6—9. "We embrace diversity because it is
fundamentally about respect, and we believe it is both
an ethical and business imperative that can improve
our organization's quality, safety and services."
Implicit in her words is what some leaders might call les-
son No. 1 about this issue: Diversity is not merely a jaded
nod in the direction of affirmative action (although
affirmative action is an important element of diversity
programs). Nor is it a "social program" to be delegated to
Human Resources. Rather, it requires a desire by senior
leadership to welcome many perspectives and differences
and to inculcate respect and appreciation for those per-
spectives as a basic organizational value.
More Than Policies
Patricia Harris, global chief diversity officer of
McDonald's Corp., sums it up in the title of her
book: None of Us Is as Good as All of Us: How
McDonald's Prospers by Embracing Inclusion and
Diversity (Wiley, 2009).
"You need to embed in your organization's culture
the recognition that diversity and equal treatment
are not simply policies to be policed," says Susan M.
Nordstrom Lopez, FACHE, president of Advocate
Illinois Masonic Medical Center, Chicago.
"It has to come from inside," she says. "And like
all organizational values, it has to come from the
top, and it has to be observed consistently
throughout the organization." That inclusivity
applies to race, generation, gender, ethnicity, reli-
gious affiliation, culture and sexual orientation.
And it holds true whether attending to the cultural
needs of patients, building a workforce or develop-
ing a leadership team that mirrors the community
it serves.
Signs of Progress
The healthcare sector's progress in this regard has
been "somewhere between fair and significant,"
says Frederick D. Hobby, president and CEO of
the Institute for Diversity in Health Management,
Chicago. According to Hobby, evidence of prog-
ress can be seen in the national call to action to
eliminate healthcare disparities launched last year
by the American Association of Medical Colleges,
ACHE, American Hospital Association, Catholic
Health Association of the United States and
National Association of Public Hospitals and
Health Systems.
The Equity of Care initiative aims to: (1) increase
the collection and use of race, ethnicity and lan-
guage (REAL) preference data by hospitals and
health systems, (2) increase cultural competency

Achieving Health Justice Addressing Disparities in Healthcare.pdfSayed Quraishi
Achieving Health Justice: Addressing Disparities in Healthcare is a phrase that
refers to the idea that all individuals should have access to high-quality and
equitable healthcare, regardless of their background. Health justice is a concept
that encompasses the idea that healthcare is a basic human right and that all
individuals should have access to the resources and opportunities they need to
maintain good health. This phrase highlights the importance of addressing

Answer the following questions about this case study:
Client with Pneumonia
Mr Edwards is a 75 yr old man who has a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease for the last two years. He continues to smoke ½ pack of cigarettes a day and does not participate in any exercise regimen and must do self-care activities slowly because of fatigue. He does not see any reason to increase his fluid intake. Presently, he is admitted for right upper lobe pneumonia and reports having an intermittent cough that produces thick, yellow sputum. He has more episodes of coughing when lying flat. He is married and his wife, Kathy is at his bedside.
Assessment
Mr Edwards SpO2 ranges from 78%-84%, and currently this am is 84%. His other vital signs are T 101.4F, HR 102/min, RR 30/min, BP 130/90mmHg. He is chilled and has had some diaphoresis. He reports that his ribs are sore and that his mouth is dry. Upon inspection, Mr Edwards mucous membranes are dry, as is his skin. Crackles are auscultated in the lower lobes bilaterally. His sputum is thick, and a yellow to yellow green in color. His health care provider has told him that if he gradually increases his exercise, drinks more fluids and stops smoking, his respiratory status will improve. He is lying in a semi-fowlers position in bed.

Subaru's Sales Boom Thanks to the Weaker Yen For the Japanese carmaker Subaru, a sharp fall in the value of yen against the U.S. dollar has turned a problem—the lack of U.S. production—into an unexpected sales boom. Subaru, which is a niche player in the global auto industry, has long bucked the trend among its Japanese rivals of establishing significant manufacturing facilities in the North American market. Instead, the company has chosen to concentrate most of its manufacturing in Japan in order to achieve economies of scale at its home plants, exporting its production to the United States. Subaru still makes 80 percent of its vehicles at home, compared with 21 percent for Honda. Back in 2012, this strategy was viewed as something of a liability. In those days, one U.S. dollar bought only 80 Japanese yen. The strong yen meant that Subaru cars were being priced out of the U.S. market. Japanese companies like Honda and Toyota, which had substantial production in the United States, gained business at Subaru's expense. But from 2012 onward, with Japan mired in recession and consumer prices falling, the country's central bank repeatedly cut interest rates in an attempt to stimulate the economy. As interest rates fell in Japan, investors moved money out of the country, selling yen and buying the U.S. dollar. They used those dollars to invest in U.S. stocks and bonds where they anticipated a greater return. As a consequence, the price of yen in terms of dollars fell. By December 2015, one dollar bought 120 yen, representing a 50 percent fall in the value of the yen against the U.S. dollar since 2012. For Subaru, the depreciation in the value of the yen has given it a pricing advantage and driven a sales boom. Demand for Subaru cars in the United States has been so strong that the automaker has been struggling to keep up. The profits of Subaru's parent company, Fuji Heavy Industries, have surged. In February 2015, Fuji announced that it would earn record operating profits of around ¥410 billion ($3.5 billion) for the financial year ending March 2015. Subaru's profit margin has increased to 14.4 percent, compared with 5.6 percent for Honda, a company that is heavily dependent on U.S. production. The good times continued in 2015, with Subaru posting record profits in the quarter ending December 31, 2015. Despite its current pricing advantage, Subaru is moving to increase its U.S. production. It plans to expand its sole plant in the United States, in Indiana, by March 2017, with a goal of making 310,000 a year, up from 200,000 currently. When asked why it is doing this, Subaru's management notes that the yen will not stay weak against the dollar forever, and it is wise to expand local production as a hedge against future increases in the value of the yen. Indeed, when the Bank of Japan decided to set a key interest rate below zero in early February 2016, the yen .

ANSWER THE DISCUSSION QUESTION 250 WORDS MINDiscussion Q.docxSHIVA101531
**ANSWER THE DISCUSSION QUESTION 250 WORDS MIN**
Discussion Questions:
How should the United States government deal with the heightened concern about homegrown violent extremism and the growing concern for the preservation of civil liberties? What are the political and constitutional consequences of counter-terrorism? Lastly, how do we assess the tradeoffs between freedom and security?
***REPLY TO EACH POST 100 WORDS MIN EACH***
1. The United States government will always have to face the homegrown violent extremist because with the internet alone people are able to research just about anything and find their answers. The civil liberties are being violated because you have FBI and CIA looking into what people on doing on the webs. I personally believe that you gave up the right when you decided to goggle whatever it is you’re looking up. It’s also like social media site take Facebook for example people are willing to give up their rights so they can be on Facebook and be able to look or post whatever they want. But just like ever website the owner of that site has a right to delete what they don’t want on it as well. So why can’t the FBI/CIA look into and potentially stop a homegrown extremist from attacking the nation or even just attacking schools, churches, and retail stores like the mall or Wal-Mart. All these locations have had attacks from violent extremist when if they were being watched or monitored those attacks could have been stopped or at least less death could have occurred. From a political and constitutional stand point, consequences of counter-terrorism can vary. I political stand is to protect and preserve the freedom for the people. Protecting one’s Constitutional rights depends on what the politician’s plans on policies and procedures that could begin to take away those civil rights that were granted and give people the sense of freedom that the nation is built on. Policies and procedures can change everything take the mask wearing and social distancing for Covid-19, you have the people that are okay with it all and are following the rules but then you have the ones that have been protesting or fighting people over the fact that they don’t want to wear a mask. To me personally it’s simple to wear a mask but to others it’s a reason of rights being taken away by mandating it. Working for the military and DHS I personally don’t see freedom and security as a tradeoff. If agencies do their jobs correctly and protect the United States and National Security then freedom wouldn’t be at stake. I believe in freedom but the security measures in place are to help protect that freedom, without the security measures the nation would be under attack like 9/11 or worse.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Types of Diversity
Although these examples are from Arizona communities, one of
the challenges of the nationwide health care industry that

from the Caucasian maternity patients. On a regular basis, many
women were put into ward rooms with two, four, or even more
beds unless they could pay extra for private accommodations.
However, Black women often suffered further indignities, being
put into segregated maternity wards without screens for patient
privacy except perhaps one kept in the hall doorway to enclose
and shield Black women from the views of other patients and
strangers during the doctor's examination.
One of the few Black doctors on staff at the time demanded that
a screen, which was usually not in the room, be brought in for
personal privacy when he examined his patients. At that
hospital and at another large hospital, this doctor was known as
an advocate for Black women's rights. Of course, since then,
there have been great strides in respecting the ethical and moral
rights of minorities and women in health care facilities. (B.
Dickens, personal communication, June, 2010)
2. Religion
Religious factors can also present interesting challenges. The
three main American religions, Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish,
all have affiliated hospitals that provide services to everyone.
Yet each religious hospital offers special accommodations to
match the community it serves. For instance, Jewish hospitals
maintain kosher dietary preferences and exclusions. There are
religious adjustments as well. For example, Catholic hospitals
offer Mass services and Jewish hospitals, Sabbath.
Age: Nationwide, children's hospitals commonly admit new
patients up to the day they reach their age of eighteen.
However, some limit patient population by age groups (e.g.,
from birth to 18), while others limit patients by diseases (e.g.,
cancer or orthopedics). In some facilities, a patient who has
suffered from a childhood chronic disorder such as cystic
fibrosis will be treated throughout adulthood. Some children's
hospitals have associations with other facilities. For example,
the Phoenix Children's Hospital (PCH) in Arizona has a special
relationship with two major hospitals in the Phoenix area.
Through this relationship, PCH may transfer their patients,
some of whom are adults suffering from certain chronic
childhood diseases, to St. Joseph's Hospital in midtown
Phoenix. PCH also has a special Adult Congenital Heart
Program with the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Arizona for its
congenital heart disease patients. The actual heart surgery will
take place at Mayo, but be performed by a PCH surgeon. In
some cases, the congenital heart problem was not discovered in
childhood, but will still be treated by PCH.
Addressing the increased number of citizens over the age of 65
has become a current factor in providing health care. In this
venue, the health care must be geared toward services and
compatible with the community it serves. For example, Boswell
Hospital in Sun City, Arizona requires and provides more
3. wheelchairs, walkers, and volunteer staff to assist the
handicapped than what is required in conventional hospitals.
There are also social organizations that provide all sorts of
wheelchairs, walkers, machinery, and other apparatus for free to
the elderly with very few questions asked.
Obesity
Often left unaddressed is the issue of obesity, a serious health
problem and a very high risk in certain service areas. A hospital
should accommodate treatment for it to improve the health
status of the community it serves. Insufficient amount of
attention is given to obesity, which leads to a shortened life
span due to diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, stroke,
heart attacks, and cancer.
American government researchers said that obesity is quickly
overtaking smoking as the country's number one killer. In fact,
obesity is becoming such a problem that many experts now say
it is compromising all the benefits of recent improvements in
health care and medical breakthroughs. (Medical News Today,
2004)
This population group tends to be excluded from efforts to
cultivate staff diversity. Leaders can influence the organization
culture by recruiting people who have particular values, skills,
traits, and orientation.
Organizational Diversity
Matching the diverse needs of a community is a critical
component in rendering health care. Foreign-born people may
present language barriers, significant because hospitals need
interpreters or staff to speak a variety of languages. In
California and perhaps other states, not providing a staff person
to adequately communicate with patients in their own language
may result in misdiagnosis or mistreatment, causing injury or
death. In such a case, the health care provider, individuals and
institutions, may be subject to medical malpractice liability.
4. Why is this relatively modern concept of organizational
diversity of significance to the health care industry? Among
many reasons, diversity in the workplace is being recognized as
a benefit that will contribute to an organization's bottom line.
Increased employee and customer satisfaction end up as
increased productivity, all of which are measurable outcomes
(Goff, 1998). One should consider the bottom-line effects of a
health care facility in treating obesity in a community where
obesity is a significant problem.
At University of California-Davis (UCD), the newly appointed
Senior Manager of the Orthopedic Department entered the
department and discovered a diverse team of employees,
including physicians, nurses, technicians, admissions clerks,
clinic receptionists, and billing clerks. Of the approximately 50-
person staff, the Senior Manager was the only minority person
in a leadership position. However, 25% of the entire staff were
Hispanic, East Indian, Asian, Black, or Pilipino, with most
Hispanic. 75% were White, including foreign White. 65% to
70% of the staff were female. The physicians' ratio was 80:20
White to non-White. There was one Black resident physician in
training and one Black nurse.
During his tenure, the Senior Manager was committed to more
diversity among the Orthopedic Department management staff.
He appointed a Japanese woman as his Assistant Manager and a
Black male as the Supervisor of the Orthopedic Clinical
Laboratory.
Increasingly, leadership literature is focused on the critical
requirement that organizational leaders bring people of diverse
backgrounds and interests together in ways that provide fair and
equitable opportunities to contribute their best, achieve personal
goals, and realize their full potential. (Gandz, 2001)
This requires sensitivity to ethnic, cultural, gender, sexual
5. orientation, religious, and other differences within the
workforce and a commitment to developing organizational
cultures, systems, processes, practices, procedures, and policies
that reflect this sensitivity and remove the obstacles to
achieving and leveraging diversity. The motivation to do this
stems from a commitment of the leader to forge links between
the organization and the community within which it operates,
either because it is good business or because the leader has
values which drive these behaviors. Ideally, it will be a
combination of both.
The "leader of the future" is described as an inclusive leader,
one who believes in people even when they don't fit into neat,
conventional categories. Such leaders will not just be tolerant of
others but will actively seek out leaders from non-traditional
groups and challenge the stereotypes that tend to restrict
leadership candidates to members of traditionally privileged
groups (Gandz, 2001).
