The Acting Director of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) issued this memo directing agency heads across the federal government to immediately close all agency offices focusing exclusively on diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility initiatives, and to place employees of those offices on paid administrative leave while the administration take steps to plan a reduction-in-force. The order directs agencies to ask employees to report changes to contract descriptions or personnel positions that obscure their relationship to "DEI or similar ideologies" and threatens employees with adverse consequences for failure to report. The order also directs agency heads to look back in time and provide OPM with a complete list of all diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility offices, employees, and agency contracts as of November 5, 2024.
