From the Daily Caller: 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.”

The Washington Free Beacon also shared details about the study:
Biden-era Environmental Protection Agency employees spent work hours implementing diversity, equity, and inclusion policies throughout the agency—focusing in particular on “de-gendering” bathrooms, hiring more gay and transgender employees, and introducing new gender-neutral honorifics such as “Mx.,” according to internal agency documents and communications reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon.
Under the leadership of then-EPA administrator Michael Regan, in 2021, the agency created an employee-led “DEIA implementation team” that was empowered to establish workgroups and take DEI-related actions. The goal, according to the Biden EPA, was to “embed” DEI agency-wide, create “cultural change,” and establish the agency as a DEI model for the entire federal government.
