I've mentioned the same thing myself - DEI to this administration & their supports is a "boogey man" that they've used to "get their way". I'll let the judge explain the rest of it:

In a blistering ruling on Wednesday, a federal judge in Boston explained why he blocked Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and the health agency he leads from revoking grants deemed to have any connection to “DEI” or “gender ideology.”
Health officials couldn’t define what those phrases meant at trial.
The Public Officials simply have no definition of DEI,” U.S. District Judge William Young wrote in his findings of fact. “How, then, can the Public Officials act on ‘DEI’ if there is no operative definition of ‘DEI’? The answer is plain: they cannot, at least within the confines of the [Administrative Procedure Act].
Calling Trump’s executive orders “rudderless,” Young found that health officials set up DEI as “some sort of boogeyman.”
In June, Judge Young ordered the National Institutes of Health to restore hundreds of grants that were terminated in the Trump administration’s anti-diversity crusade, calling it the worst case of government racial discrimination he had seen in his four-decade career.
“Without a definition of DEI, they embarked on a fool’s errand resulting in arbitrary and capricious action,” Young wrote.
NIH acting director Matthew Memoli argued that research on gender identity is “often unscientific,” claiming that “ such studies ignore, rather than seriously examine, biological realities.”
But Judge Young found Memoli produced “not a shred of evidence” backing up that assertion.
“Ironically, these kinds of phrases would never survive peer review,” Young wrote.
In short, the judge said: “The public officials have decided that they are going to ‘eradicate’ something that they cannot define.
Young rejected health officials’ argument that they were just following Trump’s orders.
“The public officials in their haste to appease the executive, simply moved too fast and broke things, including the law,” he wrote.

What a load of bovine excrement.
 
DEI: Holding back someone far more qualified for a particular position and implanting someone less qualified, even at a safety risk for the public.
Race and sex should not be considered, rather, just merit
Definition of Merit: The quality of being "particularly good" at something.
If someone is particularly good at something, you don't toss them aside and say, "we want this person who isn't as good at this to be hired."
