This is so wrong-headed of a statement that I’m actually shocked.

Do you even know how grants work?

You’re speaking about scoring designed to ensure that all Americans (any sex, poverty level, ability, creed) benefit from the use of tax payer money. This was a metric that was well understood AND EXPLICITLY EXPLAINED.

There was NO relationship between that and canceling grants.

Edit: less incendiary. I am just very upset with how confident people are saying things that are absolutely wrong for internet points.
