    wait. so its not just about spending the money they are giving on dei? its saying they won’t even with other funds. What if the other funds are mandated to be used for dei? This is just disingenuous. Having a grant that dictates how other donations and grants are used is ridiculous and it was intended to not be taken.

      Not only that, but if they do engage in “DEI activities” (definition not included) then they reserve the right to take back the entire grant and and previous money the python foundation had recieved from them in the past. Its a total poison pill, and if this sort of language is widespread in government grants its going to completly gut research in the USA.
