Executive Order 14151

Executive Order 14151, titled "Ending Radical And Wasteful Government DEI Programs And Preferencing", is an executive order signed by Donald Trump, the 47th president of the United States, on January 20, 2025, the day of his second inauguration as president of the United States.

The order requires the termination of all activities relating to "diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility" (DEIA) by federal departments: this has resulted in the termination of various DEIA-related positions from the federal government, the removal of references to topics (including recognition of the accomplishments of people based on membership in a minority group) that could constitute a promotion of DEI from federal museums and websites, and restricting applications for federal grants in arts and science that are related to or mention keywords related to DEI.

President Trump signed 26 executive orders on January 20, 2025, his first day as president during his second term. These orders were officially published over the span of January 28 through January 31.

EO 14151 directs the director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to terminate all mandates, policies, programs, preferences, and activities relating to 'diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility.' It also mandates that agencies must report a list of all employees in DEI and "environmental justice" positions to the OMB director within 60 days.

The order was issued alongside Executive Order 14173, which targets DEI and affirmative action within the hiring practices of federal departments and subcontractors, and mandates a merit-based approach.

Lists were compiled across the federal government of any employee who had ever worked in a post related to DEI, as well as employees who didn't work in such posts, but who had purportedly taken part in some sort of diversity training, workshop, affinity group (see below), or other initiative. These employees were subsequently purged en masse.

An internal Department of Government Efficiency report obtained by The Washington Post outlined a three phrase process by which DOGE would lead a purge of DEI from the federal government.

On February 2, 2025, it was reported that the Department of Education had put at least 100 employees, only two of whom actually worked in DEI, on administrative leave to await termination.
