...from that letter...
-----------------------
Since the inception of our DEI strategic plan in 2016, we have made important progress in opening opportunities and supporting the success of all students. First-generation undergraduate students, for example, have increased 46% and undergraduate Pell recipients have increased by more than 32%, driven in part by impactful programs such as Go Blue Guarantee and Wolverine Pathways. The work to remove barriers to student success is inherently challenging, and our leadership has played a vital role in shaping inclusive excellence throughout higher education.

Those programs mentioned are part of the UM DEI effort...so, indeed, progress was made with their DEI funding...in spite of an opponent's comments.
As Jon Stewart so eloquently described MAGA's obsession with DEI...."Competence Equals The White Guy"...
