    Your statement is not based on fact. The DEI created metrics that federal employment and federal contractors were required to meet related to DEI.

    it’s more on the lines of, one of the women quit so we can only interview women because otherwise we won’t meet our required diversity goal.

    Your statement is the dream goal and not the actual case.

      I’m sure this happens but isn’t it just gaming the system, rather than taking the goal seriously?

      It’s exactly like the claim that standardized testing tends to make schools teach to the test rather than teach the subject. Yeah, it happens but it’s not the goal nor what must teachers want to do. It’s a failure at the policy level or a failure of the metrics that creates pressure to game the system

      I see no facts in your statement either.

      And just because something is difficult to achieve automatically means it’s wrong to try?
