Trump Targets Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Programs in Federal Government

In a series of sweeping executive orders, President Trump has rescinded longstanding measures aimed at promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) across the federal workforce. This move includes the dismantling of DEI initiatives in various federal agencies and the revocation of affirmative action requirements for government contractors. Employees are being encouraged to report colleagues involved in DEI roles, which has led to concerns among federal workers and civil rights advocates about workplace safety and the potential for discrimination. The backlash against these changes is significant, with many business leaders and organizations opposing the rollback of DEI programs. As Trump seeks to reshape federal policies on diversity, questions arise about the implications for workplace culture and employee protections.
