Department of Government Efficiency Initiative

The President's order establishes a 'Department of Government Efficiency' aimed at reducing the federal workforce and eliminating inefficiencies, with a specific focus on cutting diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.

• The initiative may lead to significant cuts in diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, which could hinder progress in these areas within federal agencies.
• By prioritizing efficiency over DEI initiatives, the order risks perpetuating existing inequities and reducing representation of marginalized groups in the federal workforce.
• The focus on a strict hiring ratio may limit opportunities for diverse candidates, as agencies may prioritize filling roles based on immediate needs rather than equitable representation.
