The Biden administration implemented hundreds of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives across a host of U.S. government agencies, according to findings from a new study.
There were 460 programs across 24 different government agencies under the Biden-Harris administration that allocated resources for DEI efforts, according to a study published Monday by the Functional Government Initiative and the Center for Renewing America. Moreover, the study also found that the cumulative budget of these diversity programs surpassed $1.1 trillion.
“However, this figure does not encompass all DEI-related expenditures, nor does it include every program across these agencies,” the report states. “The findings reveal a substantial increase in DEI spending, largely attributable to policy directives under the Biden administration.”
Former President Joe Biden introduced various diversity initiatives during his sole term, including signing an executive order on his first day in office aimed at “advancing equity and racial justice through the federal government.”
Of the programs identified, 10 were exclusively dedicated to DEI, according to the study. Meanwhile, 144 of the programs allocated “significant” resources to DEI initiatives, while 306 programs incorporated DEI to varying degrees, though the extent of their DEI focus is indeterminate based on the available documentation, the study found.
