The Claremont Institute Center for the American Way of Life published a January 2022 report titled "Critical Social Justice in the UNC System," which discusses how many UNC system schools "promote CSJ policies under the seemingly innocuous rubric of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)." According to the report, the Brody School has implemented DEI in the following ways: "ECU aims to serve a global society through its emphasis on DEI and diversify its faculty, staff, and students. While it has four university-level administrators dedicated to DEI, only its Brody School of Medicine (which has five administrators, including three making six figures) has built a sophisticated staff to promote DEI at the college level. The Brody School actually appears to spend more than the university level on DEI salaries!"
