Trump Signs January 23 Orders to Eliminate Federal DEI Programs, Promotes Merit-Based System in Education and Military
Jan 24, 2025, 12:34 AM
President Donald Trump has signed a series of executive orders aimed at abolishing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs across the federal government. The orders, issued on January 23, 2025, direct federal agencies to dismantle DEI offices and initiatives, which Trump characterized as 'radical' and 'wasteful.' In his remarks, Trump emphasized a return to a 'merit-based' system, stating, 'America will once again become a merit-based country.' The Department of Education has announced its commitment to eliminate DEI initiatives, including removing related documents and suspending staff involved in these programs. The Army and Air Force are also complying with the directive, scrapping all DEI-related policies and training. This sweeping action has raised concerns among local employers regarding its implications for workforce diversity and inclusion.
