AI Summary: This is a policy document - specifically an Executive Order. This regulation aims to end what the document describes as illegal discrimination based on race, sex, and other characteristics in federal government operations and the private sector. The order revokes several previous executive orders related to diversity and inclusion, and directs federal agencies to terminate policies, programs, and activities that the document characterizes as discriminatory. Specifically, it requires federal departments to stop promoting diversity, cease affirmative action requirements, and prevent workforce balancing based on protected characteristics. The order mandates that the Attorney General submit a report within 120 days outlining strategies to enforce civil rights laws and discourage what the document terms "illegal DEI practices" in various sectors, including corporations, non-profits, and educational institutions. The document also requires the Attorney General and Secretary of Education to issue guidance to educational institutions regarding compliance with a recent Supreme Court decision on affirmative action in college admissions. The order includes provisions allowing for First Amendment-protected speech and exempting veteran-related employment preferences, and emphasizes protecting individual merit, hard work, and equal opportunity across American institutions.
