New Study Reveals ‘Staggering’ Scope of How Much DEI Was Infused Into Government Under Biden

A study published this week details the degree to which the Biden administration infused DEI policies into the federal government in a report the authors say can serve as a resource for the Trump administration to continue to identify and “destroy” the practice.

The new study, conducted by the Functional Government Initiative and the Center for Renewing America, identified 460 programs across 24 government agencies in the Biden administration that diverted resources to DEI initiatives.

At least $1 trillion of taxpayer money was infused with DEI principles, the study states.

The study lays out DEI infusion across several federal agencies, including the Defense Department‘s plan to “integrate environmental/economic justice tools” into training, FEMA’s need to “instill equity as a foundation of emergency management,” and the Labor Department’s push to “embed equity in a sustainable manner that recognizes the multiple and overlapping identities held by workers.”

On his first day in office, President Joe Biden signed Executive Order 13985, which was aimed at carrying out the stated goal of “advancing equity and racial justice through the federal government.”

“This order mandated a whole of government approach to injecting DEI philosophy into the federal budget,” the study says. {snip}

“The cumulative budget of these programs exceeds $1.1 trillion,” the report says. “However, this figure does not encompass all DEI-related expenditures, nor does it include every program across these agencies. The findings reveal a substantial increase in DEI spending, largely attributable to policy directives under the Biden administration.”

The report goes department by department and calculates the DEI programs and provides recommendations on how they should be addressed.

“DEI is deeply rooted throughout all aspects of the federal government, and it needs to be eliminated completely,” Center for Renewing America senior adviser Wade Miller told Fox News Digital in a statement.
