The New Discourse Around DEI: The Evolving DEI Landscape at Colleges and Universities

There has been a lot of talk about diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) lately, largely due to two recent Executive Orders (EO 14151 and EO 14173) (collectively referred to as “the EOs”) signed by President Trump during his first days in office and subsequent implementing memos issued by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), and the Justice Department. The EOs aim first to dismantle DEI “mandates, policies, programs, preferences, and activities in the Federal Government.” Specifically, the EOs task the Director of the OPM with reviewing and revising all federal employment practices, union contracts, and trainings to ensure elimination of all DEI and related programs. They next direct federal agencies to combat private sector DEI through civil compliance investigations, to terminate equity-related initiatives, programs, grants, or contracts, and to require certifications (with potential False Claims Act liability if the certifications are not valid) that the contractor or grantee “does not operate any programs promoting DEI that violate any applicable federal anti-discrimination laws.”  These EOs are discussed in detail in our prior Alert.
