President Trump's Executive Order aims to eliminate race and sex-based preferences in hiring and admissions, citing the Supreme Court's ruling in SFFA. It mandates federal agencies enforce existing anti-discrimination laws and revoke all policies favoring diversity under DEI initiatives. While the Order does not outright ban DEI and DEIA, it restricts their implementation by emphasizing merit over demographics. This move reflects a significant shift in federal policy towards a more linear interpretation of civil rights legislation since the enactment of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
The Order mandates that federal agencies terminate all discriminatory practices linked to diversity and inclusion, emphasizing merit-based opportunity over race and sex-based preferences.
In light of the SFFA decision, the Order insists on strict adherence to anti-discrimination laws, reversing previous initiatives that supported diversity and inclusion in federal employment.
