Trump Administration To Cut DEI And Environmental Justice Positions In 60 Days - All Details Here
According to a memo from the US Office of Personnel Management, "Each agency, department, or commission head shall take action to terminate, to the maximum extent allowed by law, all DEI, DEIA, and 'environmental justice' offices and positions within 60 days."
Earlier, the administration had directed the US federal employees working in diversity offices to be put on paid leave by January 22 evening as the new administration of Donald Trump ordered the programs shut.

However, agencies can and should begin issuing RIF notices to employees of DEIA offices now. Agencies are reminded to define the competitive area solely in terms of the DEIA office where the employees worked.”
Meanwhile, the move on the DEI follows an executive order Trump signed on his first day ordering a sweeping dismantling of the federal government's diversity and inclusion programs that could touch on everything from anti-bias training to funding for minority farmers and homeowners. Trump has called the programs“discrimination” and insisted on restoring strictly“merit-based” hiring.
Trump had accused former President Joe Biden of forcing“discrimination” programs into“virtually all aspects of the federal government” through“diversity, equity and inclusion” programs, known as DEI.
