Reforming The Federal Hiring Process And Restoring Merit To Government Service

On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at reforming the federal hiring process to emphasize merit and efficiency. The order seeks to eliminate hiring based on factors like race or gender identity and instead focus on recruiting highly skilled individuals dedicated to American values and the Constitution. This move, while intended to streamline and modernize federal hiring, could spark legal and political debates over its implications on diversity and inclusion within government employment.
