Yes, but as the article says, the budget has been cut, and UCSD responded by cutting things like computer science and French, while hiring a new vice chancellor for inclusion. I expect that private colleges also have diversity nonsense, too (and yes, I agree that it's complete nonsense). I don't believe the government is pushing them to do this; it's their own bad idea.
