Executive Order 14398

Following the inauguration of President Donald Trump, a series of executive orders sought to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs across federal agencies and contractors, while encouraging similar changes in the private sector.^[3] Shortly after taking office, Trump also revoked a decades-old executive order requiring federal contractors to address workplace discrimination and ordered a review of contractors civil rights compliance to assess potential violations.^[4] The order formed part of a broader set of measures affecting DEI-related policies, including actions targeting federal contractors and developments that led some companies to scale back or modify such programs.^[5]
