Eliminating the Federal Executive Institute

On February 10, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to eliminate the Federal Executive Institute, a program established over 50 years ago to provide leadership training for federal employees. The decision is part of a broader policy to cut government programs that do not directly benefit the American people or advance national interests, aiming to reduce the influence of the Washington, D.C. bureaucratic class. This move could face legal scrutiny or political pushback, as it involves revoking previous executive directives and potentially impacts federal employee training and development.
