Rep. Ben Cline (R-VA) is seeking to crack down on federal grant money universities are using to hire staff for diversity and equity purposes, accusing Democrats of using government funds to advance their political agenda on college campuses across the country.

The House Republican introduced the Federal Grant Accountability Act on Tuesday, which would implement increased accountability measures for federal agencies providing research grants to universities. The bill, which was first obtained by the Washington Examiner, would specifically rein in schools' abilities to use those funds for diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.

“Universities are raking in tens of billions of dollars from taxpayers for scientific research,” Cline said. “While some are using their grant money appropriately, others are using it as a slush fund to promote woke, radical DEI activities.

I doubt if it goes anywhere but it's a shot across the bow for DIE for what the future might hold. Why fund our own demise?

That said it sort of makes you wonder why there is no accountability in the first place.

This is excellent news.

These leftist schools have turned into “equalizing centers” in which people of color get promoted, if on staff, and accepted, if applying, above better qualified whites, and for sure Jews. Why should my tax dollars have to pay for that?

The DEI staff are full of black racists who illegally target whites, and if a fair-minded black DEI staff member objects to it, she gets fired.

DEI college director fired for not being "right kind of Black person"

"They literally marginalized me as an individual," said Tabia Lee, who has sued her former employer and wants her job back.

Exhibit A has been Virginia Tech's Nikki Giovanni. She's a communist lesbian racist radical making over $200K a year pushing her hate.

They should just change the name from DEI to AW (Anti-white).
