Exclusive: Records Detail Hefty Higher Ed DEI Spending

The University of California, Berkeley spent nearly $150,000 of National Science Foundation funding on “justice-centered pedagogy’s’ “transformative intellectuals” — learning about “both the science and social context surrounding the climate change issues impacting their communities.

The university did not turn over payroll data on departments, which OTB requested, so dozens of employees could be uncounted.

Georgia Tech announced it would restructure its DEI machine in 2023 to infuse the concepts of diversity, equity, and inclusion into the full campus bloodstream as opposed to operating a separate, central office.

Georgia Tech has a robust financial relationship with the federal government.

Since 2020 the university has garnered more than $4.5 billion in federal funding from grants and contracts.

The diversity, equity, inclusion orthodoxy is deeply embedded in American college life, Open the Books’ Neefus said.

“It’s still shaping the intellectual canon and will have a lasting impact,” he said.

UC will continue to uphold and advocate for policies and programs that reflect our values, support our mission, he added.
