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."
