AI Summary: This is a policy document, specifically an Executive Order issued by the President on January 20, 2025, aimed at ending Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs across the federal government. This regulation directs federal agencies to terminate all DEI, DEIA (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility), and "environmental justice" programs, offices, and positions within sixty days. The order requires agency heads to provide detailed lists of existing DEI-related positions, contractors, and grantees, and to assess the operational and economic impact of these programs. The regulation mandates that federal employment practices must focus solely on individual performance, skills, and hard work, explicitly prohibiting the consideration of DEI or DEIA factors in employee evaluations or hiring. Agency leaders must work with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), Office of Personnel Management (OPM), and the Attorney General to ensure compliance, with monthly meetings to track progress and report on the costs and prevalence of DEI programs across the federal government.
