President Biden's cabinet lauded as one of most diverse in history KABC Share: The presidential inauguration was a reflection of a historically-diverse presidential administration. "We see something that is remarkable. We see an administration that looks like America. You see an administration that is moving forward with putting proof in the pudding, so to speak," said Boris Ricks, associate professor of political science at Cal State University Northridge. Biden's cabinet includes a record number of women and women of color. "We have Janet Yellen, Lloyd Austin, Deb Haaland, we're talking about an African-American woman, talking about the first woman to be tapped for the Department of Treasury," said Ricks.
