The president moved to end diversity, equity and inclusion programs throughout the federal government with a flurry of executive orders, upending decades of policy.

As President Donald Trump continues to hit the ground running by implementing his conservative agenda, the latest target of the president’s executive actions are the diversity, equity and inclusion efforts conducted throughout the federal government.

The executive order, part of a wider push by Trump to roll back DEI in the public and private sectors, escalates pressure from conservatives on legal industry diversity programs that gained steam after the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2023 decision barring the consideration of race in college admissions.

With the incoming Trump administration firing the first salvo in its war against DEI, what might the future hold for disability employment?

President Donald Trump’s sweeping orders to end the government’s diversity, equity and inclusion effort mark a sea change for the country.

On his first full day in office Tuesday President Donald Trump continued sweeping actions, including ordering the shuttering of all executive branch diversity, equity, and inclusion offices and ordered all employees working in such offices to be placed on leave.
