85 DEIA related contracts totaling ~$1B have been terminated

In a sweeping move that’s sending shockwaves through Washington, the Trump administration has begun rapidly dismantling Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) programs across the federal government. This action follows President Trump’s executive order signed on January 20, 2025, titled “Ending Radical And Wasteful Government DEI Programs And Preferencing”.

The Numbers Speak Volumes

Just nine days into the implementation, the impact is already substantial:

• 85 DEIA-related contracts terminated
• Approximately $1 billion in contract value affected
• 25 federal departments and agencies impacted

Wide-Reaching Effects

The terminations span a broad spectrum of government entities, from major departments like Education, Defense, and Health and Human Services to smaller agencies such as the National Labor Relations Board and the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.

A Dramatic Shift

This rapid dismantling of DEIA initiatives marks a significant departure from the previous administration’s policies, which had expanded these programs across federal agencies. The speed and scope of these actions underscore the current administration’s commitment to swiftly reversing course on federal DEIA efforts.As this situation continues to unfold, it’s clear that the landscape of diversity and inclusion programs in the federal government is undergoing a dramatic transformation. Stay tuned for further developments and potential responses from affected agencies and advocacy groups.
