Revelio Labs' 2023 report on the state of DEI shows, "Attrition rates for DEI roles have outpaced those of non-DEI roles at more than 600 US companies that laid off workers since late 2020, and have accelerated quickly in the last 6 months."
In a hurry to fill DEI roles, "Some companies moved people into diversity leadership if they were an ethnic minority, even when they weren't qualified," essentially setting them up for failure and leading to a high turnover rate for DEI professionals, according to the Journal.
Even with well-qualified and experienced DEI professionals, many companies' DEI initiatives made no one happy.
Even as corporations are cutting back DEI employment, there is a DEI "Credentialing explosion" on college campuses.
Colleges and universities, such as Bentley, justified their costly DEI programs by pointing to data such as the 123 percent increase in DEI job postings on Indeed.com between May and September 2020.
Students who commit to a four-year DEI program today will likely have difficulty finding well-paying DEI employment opportunities when they graduate saddled with student loan debt.
Add the DEI program to the long list of overpriced, useless degrees that have enriched colleges and universities at the expense of students.
