Understand DEIB and the Revocation of Affirmative Action

Major Affirmative Action Law Revoked, and Private Sector DEI in the Cross-Hairs

President Donald Trump issued an Executive Order titled “Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity.” The new Executive Order condemns corporate and governmental policies on “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) and “diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility” (DEIA), saying they promote “demeaning and immoral race- and sex-based preferences.”
