New England College of Optometry names first Diversity and Inclusion Liaison, Joins the 13%...

13% for NECO staff and admin, check. 13% for students... Seems a bit off unless they are talking about a public awareness program. Their pool isn't the general census. It's the college population and the geographically area located college population at that. Besides, optometry schools don't in any way reflect the general population unless they think America is 70% women.

“This is about more than changing a culture,” said Dr. Abraham. “It’s about bringing ideas in from the outside to cross-pollinate and spur new thinking. I believe in the year 2020, we all see the need to come together with better ideas and bigger hearts, and share both for the greater good.”

Angela Abraham, OD, Diversity and Inclusion Liaison


You bring in new ideas AFTER you demonstrate a better way, not before.
