I guess they were asked to remove any reference to DEI from the website, and instead of updating millions of documents, they just blocked it from search.

They weren’t asked, they were mandated to do so directly by executive order. I get the desire to not comply, here, but if I’m NIH, I’m probably thinking that complying to keep the doors open for four years will do a hell of a lot more for the country than if they refuse and Trump totally dismantles their entire architecture with enough time that it’s difficult to reinstitute when he’s gone.

That’s what I meant, it’s the closest they can get to complying without actually complying (not to mention, it’s not really possible to go through every document and redact it within the timeframe demanded).

Yeah, I understood. My reply wasn’t actually directed at you; sorry for not being clear. I just wanted to add that bit in case other readers didn’t know that this was more forceful than a request.
