OK, the only link in this thread about DEI requirements in the CHIP bill comes from an opinion piece in the Hill. Meh.

I did find this in an article:

Agencies are to require doctoral degree-granting institutions that receive federal funding as well as federally funded labs to conduct activities for addressing cultural and institutional barriers to recruiting and retaining STEM workers from underrepresented groups.

So it appears they are trying to encourage institutions to address how to get women and minorities and individuals in rural schools to become qualified candidates.

Having more qualified people seems like a smart thing to encourage.

They’re not requiring hiring unqualified people.

More right-wing handwringing.
