Trump has attempted to remove any U.S. government support for diversity, equity and inclusion practices within the federal government, issuing executive orders on his first two days in office that threaten economic sanctions and dismissals.
“In the United States, there is no king,“ reads the lawsuit from the National Association of Diversity Officers in Higher Education, the American Association of University Professors, the Restaurant Opportunities Centers United and the mayor and city council of Baltimore.
The White House referred Reuters to the Justice Department for comment. The Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for a statement.
Civil rights and pro-equality groups argue the programs are necessary to correct discrimination in a country where women and African Americans did not achieve legal equality until the 20th century and continue to lag behind their white male counterparts in pay and opportunity.
Trump's Jan. 20 executive order rescinded diversity policies of the Biden administration and sought the widespread dismissal of federal government employees with the directive to “terminate, to the maximum extent allowed by law, all DEI, DEIA, and ‘environmental justice’ offices and positions.”
