Homeopathy promoted at University

I was shocked to see that the University of Minnesota hosted a “Homeopathy Acute Care Workshop” in Moos Tower on Jan. 30.

For those not familiar with homeopathy, it is an alternative care intervention. For those not familiar with the term “alternative care,” it means it is not evidence-based; it is an alternative to that. “Evidence-based” means that a thing has been studied carefully by scientists to make sure that it does what it is supposed to do and that there is evidence for it. When that route doesn’t work out for a medicine, they call it “alternative.” I’d like to know why the University supports this quackery.
