Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs have recently faced significant challenges in various sectors across the United States, including federal government agencies, corporate boardrooms, state legislatures, and college campuses.
Shortly after taking office, President Donald Trump signed an executive order targeting DEI efforts, prohibiting initiatives such as environmental justice programs, equity initiatives, and DEI considerations in federal hiring. This move also led to employees of federal DEI offices being placed on paid administrative leave.
