NASA has been criticized for rolling back diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies, with Tam O'Shaughnessy, partner of the late Sally Ride, expressing disapproval. The changes were initiated during the Trump administration and included the removal of several references to important community observances such as LGBTQ+ awareness, Women's History Month, and Black History Month. The official website reflected these alterations, including a renaming of a section from 'Diversity at NASA' to 'Special Observances,' indicating a shift away from promoting equality initiatives.
Tam O'Shaughnessy criticized NASA's recent elimination of diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, stating that such actions undermine the progress made in representation and equality.
The rollback of DEI policies at NASA under the Trump administration reflects a larger trend towards diminishing support for marginalized communities, particularly in governmental organizations.
