Trump Orders Federal Agencies to Terminate Diversity Program Staff Within 60 Days
Jan 26, 2025, 02:20 AM
The administration of President Donald Trump has directed federal agencies to begin terminating staff members working in positions related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs within 60 days. This directive follows an earlier move to place these employees on paid leave. The order, issued by the US Office of Personnel Management, mandates that agency heads take action to terminate all DEI, DEIA, and 'environmental justice' offices and positions. The move is part of a broader effort by Trump to dismantle DEI initiatives, which he has criticized as discriminatory against white people, particularly men. Additionally, Trump has revoked a long-standing executive order that required federal contractors to implement affirmative action programs aimed at increasing workplace diversity, signaling a significant shift in federal policy towards such initiatives.
