This is not uncommon. I’m sorry to hear it.
It is similar to how we starve public goods and then punish them for failing. Denying the status & professionalization of an award and then punishing a scholar for not having the networks that produce most of our professional status

From the university's position, the logic is usually:
1. you are not a real researcher so why do you need awards
1. you are not a real researcher so why do you need awards
2. your unit is a service unit, meaning it provides service to real units by teaching. i suspect in this case, the very popular race/class/gender courses that other majors farm out to more vulnerable departments.
3. you are a person of color, woman, or sexual minority (or some combination) and any investment in you just makes you more likely to leave. why bother?
I suspect an org case study of grant refusals would reveal some interesting pathways for women of color. assuming that hasn't already been done.
