A couple of things I tried… Please validate to tell me I’m not crazy. Searches done on www.nih.gov (linked in post).
These are blocked:
- “diversity”
- "diversity "
- “equity”
- “inclusion”
- “DEI”
These are not blocked:
- “diverse”
- “diversit”
- “diversity*”, “inclusion*”, “equity*”
- “diversitya”
- “equity and diversity”
- “diversity and equity”
- “diversity equity inclusion”
What is the meaning of this
They have to, effectively. It’s covered in one of the executive orders Trump made day 1. You can look through all of them on whitehouse.gov if you want.
DEI is explicitly prohibited in governement orgs now. And Trump has his own little personal government force to use against any that don’t play along through the DOGE project/group, headed by Musk.
I’m waiting for the word Orange to be banned by executive order.
