Braun signs orders barring DEI, remote work for Indiana agencies
Briefly

"Today, I signed nine executive orders to deliver on our commitments to Hoosiers, including the elimination of the Chief Equity, Inclusion, and Opportunity Office in line with constitutional standards and my vision of MEI: Merit, Excellence, and Innovation."
"The state will now prohibit any public resources from being used for DEI programs that offer preferential treatment based on race or ethnicity. This shift aims to ensure equity through merit and excellence rather than diversity quotas."
"Under my administration, no one will be forced to participate in sensitivity training or declare their pronouns, as the focus will shift towards policies that promote merit-based achievements in state services."
"Returning to in-person work is about responsibility and accountability to the citizens we serve. The remote work arrangements made during the pandemic must be carefully evaluated to ensure they support public service effectively."
