I’m not sure why this is being voted down. The NSF did actively pursue DEI and the US government is obligated not to fund organizations that discriminate based on race.
- Ar-Curunir 1y agoThe NSF only had “DEI” requirements (really just requiring grants to have a section on vague Broadening Participation guarantees) due to Congress-mandated laws.
- malcolmgreaves 1y agoDEI is not illegal racial discrimination. It's literally the solution to centuries of racial discrimination.
- amendegree 1y agoMore racism isn’t the solution to racism. Try again

- nailer 1y agoDiscriminating job candidates by race, regardless of the intention, is racial discrimination.
- const_cast 1y agoThat's not what DEI is. You might be referring to Affirmative action.
- nailer 1y agoI am referring to AA, but AA is considered part of DEI at most organisations.
- const_cast 1y agoNo, AA is not considered part of DEI at any organizations. AA has been dead for decades now.
- mindslight 1y agoHave you ever heard the phrase "throwing the baby out with the bathwater" ? The DEI groupthink definitely needed to be reformed, but we didn't need to destroy our world-leading scientific research institutions to do it. Furthermore, given the overwhelming fascist groupthink now being pushed in place of DEI, it's not even clear that we've succeeded in reducing the magnitude of required political correctness.
