One of President Donald Trump’s earliest anti-DEI executive orders took aim at private-sector companies and organizations, instructing the heads of federal agencies to list those they consider the “most egregious and discriminatory DEI practitioners” so the companies might be investigated for “civil compliance investigations.” The order set a 120-day deadline for the alleged offenders to be named.
That was four months ago. In other words, the deadline for this executive order is upon us. Right now, it’s unclear whether the government’s list will materialize on time—or at all—but companies are preparing just in case.
