By posting this policy you're implying it's obviously a problem... mark me down as undisturbed that there's a light thumb on the scale in favor of hiring blind/deaf/etc/etc/etc employees for what I'm going to reasonably presume are overwhelmingly office jobs sitting at a computer. To the extent they're even getting hired at all.
Of course the disabilities you'd primarily draw attention to would be instead "severe intellectual disability" and "psychiatric disability," I imagine. This program doesn't remove the qualifications for jobs: blind people are not flying planes. People with severe intellectual disabilities are not inspecting them.
Speaking of left/right divides, it seems to me that taking these kinds of policies at or beyond face value is another one of those. The anti-DEI crowd has also decried Boeing having a target to hire more black employees, a policy from 2021 that's resulted in the share of black employees rising from 6.4% to... 7.1%. Definitely a smoking gun. I can go on Twitter to hear about how that 0.7% combines with the lower IQ of HBCU graduates to explain the company's problems.
