- U.S. Department of Education Takes Action to Eliminate DEI – 1/23/2025
The U.S. Department of Education has taken steps to eliminate Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives in line with President Trump’s Executive Orders aimed at ending illegal discrimination and wasteful spending. Actions include dissolving the Diversity & Inclusion Council and the Employee Engagement Diversity Equity Inclusion Accessibility Council, canceling DEI training and service contracts, withdrawing the Equity Action Plan, and placing DEI staff on paid administrative leave. The Department is also removing DEI references from public communication channels and will continue reviewing all programs to identify and eliminate DEI-related activities.
