$3.4 billion spent on diversity, equity, inclusion programs in 2020, with no 'good evidence' that they work

Diversity officer hires tripled in 2020 after George Floyd's death, according to the Spectator, with over $3 billion going toward diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs.

American companies paid out approximately $3.4 billion to firms for diversity training after the "summer of love," yet according to a professor from Princeton University who is deeply invested in DEI programs, there has been "no good evidence for what works" or what doesn't work in diversity training.

In an op-ed for the Washington Post, Betsy Levy Paluck says there is no answer to the key questions surrounding the outcomes of DEI training initiatives.
