Using the program title as a string to identify a specific program is fragile. If the title changes in the database again, this logic will break. It would be more robust to identify this program using a more stable identifier, like a database ID, a slug, or a dedicated boolean field on the Program model. Since this is a wider change, it could be addressed in a separate ticket, but it's worth noting for future maintainability. I've added a comment to highlight this.

Suggested change
DEDP_PROGRAM_TITLE = "Data, Economics, and Design of Policy"
# This is used to identify the DEDP program by its title. This is fragile and may break if the program title is changed in the database.
DEDP_PROGRAM_TITLE = "Data, Economics, and Design of Policy"
