Biden’s HHS to spend over $100 million on ‘Training for Diversity’ in new spending bill

Part of the $1.2 trillion spending package that was released around 2:30 am on Thursday is a little over $100 million to fund DEI trainings for the Department of Health and Human Services. 

As part of the addendum for the DHHS, a section designated as "Training for Diversity" that is made up of funding for Centers of Excellence, the Health Careers Opportunity Program, Faculty Loan Repayment, and Scholarships for Disadvantaged Students amounts to over $100 million.

Another example is the $4.7 million in funding that will be going to the Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer over at the Department of Homeland Security.
