DEI: Spending Grows Despite Constitutional Pushback
Liberty Check
- DEI programs continue across agencies, schools, and corporations despite executive orders and stalled legislation.
- Major companies and institutions have kept or increased DEI spending, with funds persisting across at least 44 states.
- Critics warn DEI drains taxpayer and donor resources, undermining merit-based opportunity, military readiness, and public trust.
It’s time to push back.
Despite President Trump’s executive order banning DEI in government, these programs persist across agencies, schools, and corporations.
Key legislation aimed at dismantling DEI has stalled, while enormous sums continue to fund these initiatives under new names.
A recent survey finds that over 80% of major companies kept or increased DEI spending in 2025, and only 19% have cut back.
Universities and non-profits are obscuring their DEI activities through rebranding, yet DEI funds endure in at least 44 states, with hundreds of millions still being directed to these efforts.
Liberty Surveys urges Americans to stay informed and question the continued avalanche of taxpayer and donor money into DEI, which evades oversight and violates the principles of equal protection and merit-based opportunity.
Demand transparency and accountability from both public and private institutions.
