The Biden campaign recently announced that it is hiring a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) director who will be responsible for the campaign’s DEI strategy and receive a salary of up to $120,000.
The role, recently advertised online, will pay between $95,000 and $120,000, with the director being responsible for DEI strategy and programming on the Biden campaign, educating staff on the topic and even influencing hiring practices.
“The DEI Director will focus on creating and executing a comprehensive strategy to attract and support diverse talent to further the campaign’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion,” the job listing reads. “They will also be responsible for upskilling and further educating campaign staff around DEI.”
The Biden campaign’s DEI director will also be responsible for implementing “DEI-focused workshops for management and other staffers in service of educating and upskilling campaign staff on the DEI space and specific initiatives,” as well as managing and reporting “on the campaign’s diversity efforts, leveraging best in class tools including developing an internal dashboard to support data analysis and reporting.”
The position will also have direct influence on the campaign’s hiring decisions, with the DEI director being tasked with reviewing “hiring practices and outcomes to ensure diverse talent is represented and successful in candidacy at all levels of the campaign.”
The Biden campaign’s decision to hire a DEI director comes as the Democratic incumbent has ordered the federal bureaucracy to embrace the leftwing agenda and institutionalize it throughout the federal workforce’s policies. Biden signed an executive order in 2021, called the “Executive Order on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility in the Federal Workforce,” that formalized the presence of the ideology within the administrative state.
Former President Donald Trump has since pledged to gut the administrative state by re-issuing an executive order called Schedule F, which would remove civil service protections from bureaucrats who occupy a position that impacts policymaking. “We will pass critical reforms making every executive branch employee fireable by the President of the United States,” Trump said at a rally, touting the plan. “The deep state must be brought to heel.”
