Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing

What it means

Orders the elimination of all federal Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs, offices, and positions. Agency heads must terminate DEI initiatives within 60 days, identify all related positions and contractors, and report on their operational impact and costs.

Expected impact

• Significant restructuring across federal agencies as DEI and environmental justice offices are disbanded
• Potential reduction in federal workforce as positions are eliminated
• Redirection of federal resources previously allocated to DEI initiatives
• Changes to federal contracting and grant-making processes that previously incorporated diversity considerations
• Monthly meetings to track implementation and identify barriers to compliance
• Likely legal challenges from advocacy groups and affected employees
