Dismantling Ideological Policies for Semiconductors and Science Act

This bill would repeal numerous diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) requirements in federal STEM programs established under the CHIPS and Science Act. It targets provisions requiring outreach to underrepresented communities, diversity considerations in research programs, data collection on faculty demographics, and DEI-focused funding programs. The bill also repeals the NSF Chief Diversity Officer position and modifies programs to focus on STEM achievements for historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and Tribal Colleges or Universities (TCUs) without race-based activities. The bill would affect federal agencies like the National Science Foundation, Department of Energy, and National Institute of Standards and Technology that administer STEM programs.
