 Feds Spend $230,769 to Increase Diversity of Veterinarians

Posted By Elizabeth Harrington On December 5, 2018 @ 5:00 am

The U.S. Department of Agriculture is spending over $200,000 on "enhancing diversity" of veterinarians.

A grant was awarded earlier this year to Tuskegee University in Alabama, which will host workshops and seminars entitled, "So You Want to Be A Vet," to try to recruit minorities into veterinary programs.

"The need to feed the ever increasing human population, forecast to reach over 9 billion worldwide by 2050 is clear, resulting in an increasing need to fill the shortage of scientists and professionals trained in food and agricultural sciences, including food animal veterinary medicine," according to the grant for the project. "As concerted efforts are made to fill this void, it is imperative that underrepresented minorities be included as part of the solution."

Other than the fact that no government agency should fund anything to do with private business, this is a non-story.

Maybe they're concerned that the Zoophilia sector is under represented

My puppies have never cared about the sex or race of their vets.  They disliked them all universally.
