The Trump administration has ordered all US federal employees in Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) offices to be placed on paid leave due to a new directive aimed at ending DEI initiatives. This move follows two recent executive orders signed by Trump that reverse policies established under previous administrations, particularly those promoting DEI within federal agencies. The White House has argued that these programs fueled discrimination and announced plans to dismantle all related offices and programs within the next two months, impacting various sectors previously involved in equity measures.
All federal employees in diversity offices are to be put on paid leave as the Trump administration moves to dismantle DEIA programs across the government.
The recent executive orders signed by Trump will eliminate all DEI initiatives and programs within the federal government, reversing actions taken under the Biden administration.
Trump's administration claims the DEI programs have led to discrimination, calling them 'radical and wasteful,' and directing a complete shutdown within 60 days.
The new executive orders overturn decades-long equity policies, including those dating back to Lyndon B. Johnson, as part of a broader reform agenda.
