According to a memo from the Office of Personnel Management, the Trump administration has directed federal agencies to place employees in diversity, equity, and inclusion roles on paid leave by Wednesday evening. The agencies must also prepare to close DEI offices, remove related websites and social media accounts, and submit plans by January 31st for dismissing affected employees. President Donald Trump signed an executive order Monday ending federal DEI programs, calling them radical and wasteful. The exact number of employees impacted remains unclear.
