President Trump is set to sign an executive order on his first day in office aimed at dismantling diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives across all federal agencies. The order will direct agencies to terminate various DEI programs and policies, reversing efforts made by the Biden administration.
President Trump is expected to launch his presidency with a decisive blow to diversity, equity, and inclusion ( DEI ) initiatives within the federal government . According to an incoming White House official, Trump will sign an executive order on his first day in office, Monday, aimed at dismantling all DEI programs across federal agencies.
The order will instruct the Office of Management and Budget and the Office of Personnel Management to collaborate with agencies and terminate a wide range of DEI-related programs, including environmental justice initiatives, grants focused on equity, equity action plans, and various other equity-focused programs. The official stated that these actions will promote 'equal treatment' and effectively end DEI efforts within the federal government. While the executive action specifically targets DEI policies within the federal sphere, the official hinted at the possibility of future actions addressing DEI practices in the private sector. This move comes as a direct reversal of policies implemented by the Biden administration, some of which were designed to counteract the restrictions on DEI that Trump imposed during his first term. Trump has been a vocal critic of DEI initiatives, even denying the existence of systemic racism in a September 2020 speech. His previous executive order, issued in 2020, significantly restricted diversity training programs within the federal government, its contractors, and grant recipients. The upcoming executive order echoes this stance, framing DEI training as 'perpetuating racial stereotypes and division' and employing 'subtle coercive pressure to ensure conformity of viewpoint.' The move is expected to spark significant debate and legal challenges, raising fundamental questions about the role of government in promoting diversity and equity
