They had many DEI programs dating back to before it was called DEI. The one targeting women who were predisposed toward stem careers and keeping them on that track was the only one that persisted over time because it was the only one that wasn't asinine when you actually looked at the results.
The women hired as a result of the program were far more socially diverse than people from the other hiring pipelines and I think that is of greater value than the fact that they were women.
Weird how there’s programs for the majority (women) when the minority (men) succeed — but no help for the minority (men) in any form. And this isn’t some new issue… men have been the minority in education longer than I’ve been alive.
