President Trump Terminates All Federal Diversity Programs and Places Staff on Paid Leave

President Trump Terminates All Federal Diversity Programs and Places Staff on Paid Leave

The Trump administration has ordered all federal employees in diversity, equity, and inclusion roles to be placed on paid leave, according to a new memo from the Office of Personnel Management.

 

The memo, issued Tuesday to heads of departments and agencies, sets a deadline of no later than 5 p.m. ET Wednesday to inform the employees that they will be put on paid administrative leave as the agencies prepare to close all DEI-related offices and programs and to remove all websites and social media accounts for such offices.

It also asks federal agencies to submit a written plan by Jan. 31 for dismissing the employees.

 

President Donald Trump signed an executive order  Monday ending “radical and wasteful” diversity, equity and inclusion programs in federal agencies, with DEI offices and programs being ordered to shut down.

“President Trump campaigned on ending the scourge of DEI from our federal government and returning America to a merit based society where people are hired based on their skills, not for the color of their skin,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement Tuesday night. “This is another win for Americans of all races, religions, and creeds. Promises made, promises kept.”

 

Trump signed 46 executive orders and presidential actions Monday that addressed a number of campaign pledges, including ending Biden-era border policies and pardoning the Jan. 6 Capitol rioters.

Tuesday, he signed an executive order that targeted diverse hiring practices at the Federal Aviation Administration, arguing that such initiatives penalized “hard-working Americans who want to serve in the FAA but are unable to do so, as they lack a requisite disability or skin color.”
