(CNN) — Employees in any federal diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility offices will be placed on paid administrative leave “effective immediately,” according to a post from White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.
A memo issued by the US Office of Personnel Management on Tuesday instructed agencies to notify DEI staffers “no later than 5:00pm EST on Wednesday” that they were being placed on administrative leave effective immediately as “the agency takes steps to close/end all DEIA initiatives, offices and programs.”
The memo also directs agencies to remove the offices’ websites and social media accounts and to cancel any DEI-related trainings.
The move comes just one day after Trump signed an executive order banning DEI programs. On a briefing call with reporters Monday, an official pledged Monday’s executive order would “dismantle the DEI bureaucracy, and this includes environmental justice programs, equity related grants, equity action plan, equity initiatives.”
CBS News first reported the memo.
