NEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump has ordered a sweeping dismantling of the federal government’s diversity and inclusion programs that could include everything from anti-bias training to funding for minority farmers and homeowners. The order gives all federal agencies 60 days to close all offices and positions dedicated to diversity, equity and inclusion, and dismantle or reform diversity-related grants and contracts. The step is the first salvo in an aggressive campaign to upend DEI efforts nationwide, including leveraging the Justice Department and other agencies to investigate private companies pursuing training and hiring practices that conservative critics consider discriminatory against non-minority groups such as white men.
