Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing

On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump issued Executive Order 14151, effectively ending diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs within the federal government, which he labeled as discriminatory and wasteful. This order mandates the termination of DEI-related offices, positions, and initiatives across federal agencies, emphasizing a return to policies that prioritize individual merit and performance. The action could lead to significant legal and political debates, as it dismantles initiatives aimed at promoting workplace diversity and may face challenges from those who view DEI efforts as essential for fostering equality and representation in government.
