A paper on “diversity, equity and inclusion” in health services departments has been retracted for misrepresenting the “authenticity of experiences” cited.
But the paper is just the latest example of how woke University of Minnesota academics pass off their political views as scholarly work. …
“The retraction has been agreed following concerns raised by the authors following publication that their characterisation of specific data (personal narratives and experiences) was either inaccurate, misleading, or false,” the notice stated. “The final submitted manuscript unintentionally contained content that mischaracterised the authenticity of experiences represented, and the authors have requested retraction.”
[There has been a long decline in the quality of studies, especially in the social sciences, as political incentives eclipse merit and integrity. Which, by the way, is an accurate way to describe DEI, too. — Ed]
