Where the Money Goes: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Under the Biden administration, huge sums of money have been going to consulting firms promoting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs. Just how much money has been investigated by Christopher Rufo. More on what he has uncovered can be found here: “Government Spending Aimed at Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Efforts Has Exploded Under Biden Administration,” by Perry Chiaramonte, New York Sun, November 22, 2024:
Consulting firms that helped to push forward the diversity, equity and inclusion agenda of the outgoing Biden Administration scored a windfall by capitalizing on the initiatives, according to a new report from the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research.
Senior Fellow Christopher Rufo says that a search of contracts, grants, and other programs that mentioned “diversity, equity, and inclusion” shows that the firms netted more than $1 billion from federal contracts last year.
The author’s findings show a rapid increase from 2019, when the federal government spent only $27 million in contracts that mention diversity and inclusion.
But after the death of George Floyd in 2020, the federal government and private contractors went all-in on DEI, seeking to implement the Biden administration’s ‘whole-of-government’ equity agenda,” Mr. Rufo writes in an article for The Manhattan Institute’s publication, City Journal….
Starting on January 20, President Trump’s administration will undo the DEI madness, especially in the nation’s schools, one federal grant at a time. Schools that have been engaging in racial discrimination in order to promote “diversity, equity, and inclusion” will be sued for civil rights violations; those schools that have received federal money for DEI programs will be taxed on those DEI endowments. And the federal financial spigot, that under Biden was providing $1 billion a year to promote all DEI programs, will be turned off. One more reason January 20 can’t come soon enough.
