 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]

No, it’s not lame, and I appreciate the distinctions — even though I chose to go with Republican shortcut of the moment in making the comment that you responded to.

(Also,  DEIA (Accessibility) is also often used too, although it doesn’t seem relevant here.)

My general point, though, is that being from an underrepresented state, having a military background, and possibly having a compelling backstory undoubtedly helped Vance get admitted to YLS — over other equally competent potential students. 
While I’ve no idea what got Usha into Yale College, my guess is that as a Yale College grad applying to YLS, her merits as a student would have been well known.
