Trump Administration Orders Termination of DEI Staff Within 60 Days Following Executive Order
Jan 25, 2025, 01:11 AM
The Trump administration has issued directives to federal agencies to begin the process of terminating staff from Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) offices within 60 days, following an executive order signed by President Trump to eliminate all federal DEI programs. According to a memo from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) issued on Friday night, agency heads are required to 'take action to terminate' DEI staffers, with the option to start layoffs immediately. The OPM memo also instructed that all DEI-related public communications, including websites, be removed, and any ongoing DEI training or contracts be canceled. This move comes after the administration ordered the closure of all DEI offices by the end of Wednesday, with affected employees being placed on paid leave during the transition.
