Biden stands by diversity priorities as politics shift around him

President Joe Biden has made diversity, equity, and inclusion a focal point of his administration, but throughout his tenure, programs with the same aims have been dismantled.

When first ascending to the Oval Office, Biden promised to use his post to address racial disparities within the United States, but outside of his powers, DEI initiatives, such as critical race theory and the Black Lives Matter movement, have faced setbacks, including the Supreme Court ruling against affirmative action last year.
