When Trump took office, he signed executive orders barring federal funding from organizations involved in DEI.
Here are the two orders:
Executive Order 14151, "Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing": This order directs the termination of all DEI/DEIA (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility) offices, positions, programs, and related grants or contracts within the federal government.
Executive Order 14173, "Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity": This order targets entities outside the federal government. It rescinds the decades-old Executive Order 11246, which required federal contractors to have affirmative action plans, and mandates that contractors and grant recipients certify they do not operate "illegal DEI" programs. It also directs the Attorney General to identify private corporations, large non-profits, and universities for potential civil rights investigations related to their DEI practices.
