The White House has recently released a fact sheet detailing an executive order that will put an end to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) preferencing in federal contracting. The order also directs federal agencies to actively combat discrimination in the private sector.
According to the White House, this executive order is designed to uphold existing federal statutes and promote colorblind equality as promised by the Constitution. By eliminating preferential treatment based on DEI criteria in federal contracting, the administration aims to ensure fair and equal opportunities for all businesses.
