Oregon group calls for Dallas resignation

Members of the Oregon Doctors of Chiropractic (ODOC) have expressed their displeasure at the increasingly medical environment at Western States Chiropractic College (WSCC).

According to an announcement released by the group's Leadership Council, the organization voted unanimously to voice its disapproval of the school's "Doctor of Chiropractic Medicine" degree as well as the college's decision to allow its campus to be used as a vaccine clinic.

The general membership also called for the WSCC Board of Trustees to ask for the immediate resignation of Dr. William Dallas as president of the college.

"Dallas has been, and still is, a major embarrassment to the chiropractic profession in Oregon as well as across the country," the group stressed. "ODOC feels that nothing short of his demise as president of WSCC will offset the damage he had done to the public's understanding of our noble profession."

The organization has asked members of the Council on Chiropractic Education (CCE) to "take a serious look at this individual and decide if they wish to continue any relationship with him" or have him represent them as their president.

"We believe that the CCE would be far better off without this person who has created a firestorm in our profession," ODOC noted. "We are joined in this endeavor by many renowned chiropractic leaders and educations from all sections of the United States who applaud our stand. We know that this school will do much better in new student enrollment with his permanent absence."

Unconfirmed reports from Oregon sources estimate that enrollment has dropped 50% at WSCC since it has publicly embraced the medical model of health care.

ODOC officials also stated that none of their members would send a prospective student to WSCC "as long as this anti-chiropractor holds any office within the college's leadership."
