OpenTheBooks.com’s exposé on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) costs at the University of Virginia is generating loads of attention.

The Daily Mail published a lengthy story here, adding some of its own reporting. The headline: “University of Virginia EXPOSED for $20M annual DEI spend on 235 staff, including $243,000-a-year equity tsar who calls OxyContin deaths payback for the ‘toxicity of whiteness,’ watchdog says.”

Virginia Congressman Bob Good, 5th district, also cited the OpenTheBooks.com’s research during a hearing of the US House Committee on Education and the Workforce. See the clip here.
