The Biden administration spent tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars to determine whether the construction industry is sufficiently diverse, equitable, and inclusive. It isn’t, the survey found.

President Joe Biden’s General Services Administration in November released the survey’s “powerful” findings, which highlighted the glaring need for construction companies “to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion in their industry.” While the federal agency did not include the survey’s cost in the release, a contract obtained by the Washington Free Beacon shows that the “DEI Survey and Report” cost taxpayers nearly $90,000.

Biden has issued a slew of executive orders on diversity, equity, and inclusion, which require federal agencies to implement “Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility Strategic Plans” in an effort to advance “equity for all.” The General Services Administration said it commissioned its construction industry survey as a result of those orders. In the subsequent report, agency administrator Robin Carnahan said the effort is part of a push to ensure federal contractors—not just the federal government—embrace Biden’s equity “vision.”
