Gravy Train Ends: National Science Foundation Grants to DEI Related Projects Plunge Under Trump
A recently released report unveiled by the Washington Free Beacon found that National Science Foundation grants containing “DEI language” have not only dipped from the highs of the previous administration, but they’ve also plummeted to levels not seen in decades. “The data, compiled by DeepAudit, a nonprofit specializing in AI-assisted research, shows that the percentage of awards with DEI terms is at its lowest point since 2001,” Aaron Sibarium at the Free Beacon wrote on Wednesday. The National Science Foundation is responsible for about a quarter of all federal dollars that go to colleges and universities.
