Total clickbait after you read details:

> NASA announced March 10 that it was closing the Office of Technology, Policy, and Strategy; the Office of the Chief Scientist; and the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) Branch of the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. The employees of those offices, 23 in total, will be laid off.

So 23 DEI architects and middle managers with no direct reports were sent packing by means of re-org. Good riddance!

No physical offices being closed as implied by misleading title.

How are those 2 offices "DEI architects?"

> middle managers with no direct reports

No actual engineers performing real work were harmed in this exercise.
