By Alex Miller - The Washington Times - Wednesday, November 22, 2023
The Defense Department requested $114 million this week for its diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility or DEIA programs.
The request, which is the Pentagon’s largest ever ask for DEIA funding, comes as the agency failed its sixth audit of its accounts in as many years.
Pentagon officials said in the request that the funding push was meeting President Biden’s proposal for this year’s budget and demonstrated the Pentagon’s “commitment ” to diversity activities.
