Trump moves quickly to end government DEI programs
In the opening days of his second term, President Trump has moved quickly to get rid of the government’s DEI policy and programs. After the president signed an executive order last week, all government DEI staff were put on paid leave and will eventually be laid off. Meanwhile, federal agencies have canceled staff training and started removing DEI documents from websites. The president’s actions are also impacting the private sector. On Friday, Target said it’s joining rival Walmart and a number of other prominent American brands in scaling back corporate diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.
