Putting applications on the bottom of the stack because you "might not be allowed to review them" is a classic example of "obeying in advance".
For anyone in a similar situation, Do Not Do That.
Force them to state explicitly that they want these things done. That creates grounds for appeal.

Thanks to all of you amplifying this appalling decision, there is now a very helpful article in @chronicle.com. If you have institutional access, send it to your member of Congress. (I know this may be overtaken by the indirect cost issue but we can push on both.) www.chronicle.com/article/were...

Hoping this can get more attention since it's so obviously a resegregation attempt. The NIH/biomedical science are not my world so a broad cc to @drugmonkey.bsky.social @kendrawrites.com @tarahaelle.bsky.social @wordyard.com @alondra.bsky.social @costasamaras.com @davelevitan.bsky.social

I got the screenshot from a reliable source, but you don't have to take my word for it. bsky.app/profile/jlwe...
The CSR comm I'm on just pulled all Diversity F grants from the current review cycle. These apps are reviewed alongside (and by the same criteria) as all other F grants. So, instead of helping these trainees, they will actually be punished by having their grant reviews delayed at least 1 cycle !?!?

I am obviously aware of how the Trump EOs are an Orwellian outrage to language, but I still think it is valuable to compare their real-life actions to what they wrote down! That is one way that accountability works!

This is especially important in light of @jamellebouie.net's post today. This is explicitly an effort to re-segregate science. There is no reason these applications couldn't have been considered in the regular pool - the criteria are the same. bsky.app/profile/jame...
i'll be blunt, if you are someone who is vocal about the ways that diversity efforts "divide the working class" but silent about the ways that *actual racism and discrimination* divide the working class, then i think you're just an opportunist
Trump’s Attacks on DEI Get Approval From Some in the Left Wing
Many Democrats and activists are rallying to defend diversity programs, but others say they distract from deeper efforts to address inequality.
