Donald Trump has signed two executive orders aimed at unwinding the federal government’s decades-long push to ensure an inclusive workplace that reflects American society.
The Trump administration ordered all US federal employees working in diversity offices to be put on paid leave and their programs ended, although a judge recently blocked the orders.
The president’s directives also instructed federal agencies to develop plans to deter and report on private companies with diversity, equity and inclusion programs – often referred to as DEI – in a move viewed by some as an attempt to ward off businesses from addressing discrimination in their workplaces.
If you are someone who works in the field of diversity, equity and inclusion in the US, we would like to hear about how your experience has been affected by both Trump’s executive orders and his rhetoric around DEI.
