 Usha definitely profited from DEI so why is she still around?[/quote]

Actually, Vance definitely benefitted from DEI.  [/quote]

DEI (TM) wasn’t invented until 2020, years after Vance got into Yale.

Not all programs that expand access to underrepresented groups are DEI (TM) and DEI (TM) did not reach all underrepresented groups. In particular, DEI (TM) favored a worldview where privilege was measured by skin color, gender, and status as a sexual minority and almost completely ignored the actual current driver of inequality in our society which is money, class, and what kind of family you were born into.

(I put the TMs to mean Trademark, because so many people on this board do not understand the difference between the program invented in 2020 vs. actual diversity, equity, and inclusion. Sorry if it’s lame.)[/quote]

It's not so much lame as misleading, since DEI a diversity equity and inclusion is not trademarked (the acronym is used in other trademarks including Dale Earnhardt Inc.

Wikipedia:
Diversity refers to the presence of variety within the organizational workforce in characteristics such as gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability, age, culture, class, veteran status, or religion.[2][12] Equity refers to concepts of fairness and justice, such as fair compensation and substantive equality.[12] More specifically, equity usually also includes a focus on societal disparities and allocating resources and "decision making authority to groups that have historically been disadvantaged",[13] and taking "into consideration a person's unique circumstances, adjusting treatment accordingly so that the end result is equal."[2] Finally, inclusion refers to creating an organizational culture that creates an experience where "all employees feel their voices will be heard",[2] and a sense of belonging and integration.[12][14]

For example, among urls disappeared by the govt in its initial sweep of DEI programs was reports by NOAA regarding low-income coastal flooding areas, because historically low income communities are less protected against floods and less able to recover. (I was poking around usaspending.gov when I discovered this, the archive showed it was active until Jan 20).
