President Trump's administration has made moves to eliminate affirmative action in federal contracting by placing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) staff on paid leave and eventually laying them off. This shift comes after Trump signed an executive order on his first day in office which aims to dismantle federal DEI programs established by previous administrations. The offensive includes revoking an order from President Lyndon Johnson, utilizing similar mechanisms that the Biden administration employed to promote DEI, now reversing them. Agencies are directed to cancel DEI training and report any obfuscation of DEI programs.
Trump's administration has taken decisive actions to dismantle DEI programs in federal contracting, labeling them as discriminatory and revoking prior policies.
The executive order signals a significant shift towards merit-based hiring practices, putting an end to federally mandated diversity initiatives.
