could the 55% budget cut be a bureaucracy reduction, not a dei issue?





They're not spending 55% of their budget on unnecessary administration. Though ironically, having their ideological crusaders check every science paper that mentions the word "bias"[1] to check that it doesn't also mention minorities they wish to normalise bias against will probably increase the administrative overhead...

[1]I think it's probably fair to assume that whoever concluded the word "bias" indicated a likelihood the paper was "woke" struggled with high school statistics and has never read an academic paper of any sort...


agreed: 55% seems high if a bureaucracy reduction, and agreed about paper checkers being overhead themselves.
