The order requires all federal agencies to end diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices. It also calls for the government to scrutinize DEI practices in the private sector and federal contractors. The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs is ordered to cease promoting “diversity,” enforcing “affirmative action,” or allowing adjustments in workforce composition based on race, color, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or national origin. It also orders all federal contracts and grants to include clauses prohibiting DEI programs moving forward and instructs the Office of Management and Budget to remove DEI references from federal procedures. The order directs the Attorney General to find ways to eliminate DEI practices in the private sector, including litigation, regulatory actions, and strategies to encourage private sector disavowal of DEI programs aimed at creating fair and equitable work environments. The order also directs the Attorney General and the Secretary of Education to issue guidance to educational institutions receiving federal funding that outlines compliance measures regarding Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. President and Fellows of Harvard College.
