Very strongly agree

Yes

Vivek Ramaswamy has been a vocal critic of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) initiatives, both in the private sector and in government. He has argued that such programs are divisive and undermine meritocracy. In his 2023 book 'Woke, Inc.' and in numerous public statements, Ramaswamy has called for the elimination of DEI policies in favor of strictly merit-based hiring. He has also advocated for banning DEI offices in federal agencies and universities. Therefore, he would strongly agree with eliminating DEI hiring initiatives in favor of merit-based hiring.

Very strongly disagree

No

Given his public opposition to DEI initiatives, Ramaswamy would strongly disagree with maintaining DEI hiring in government agencies. He has repeatedly stated that he believes DEI policies are counterproductive and promote discrimination based on identity rather than ability. His campaign rhetoric and policy proposals have consistently called for a return to merit-based systems, making it clear he would not support continuing DEI hiring initiatives.
