It has been known pre-2015 that hiring the best people we make you money and the real DE&I involved hitting the best people. Even the more outdated resources I see in my HR degree I started in 2015 (the year McKinney did this study) started that. The issue is if you half ass it then it doesn't work

Absolute casually racist headline, but the wild thing is that the article doesn't say DEI is bad for profits, but rather that there is no link between DEI and profits, meaning it is not good or bad for them. So it doesn't hurt profits plus it's morally defensible. Just do it, fucking racist ghouls.
