On the heels of ordering federal diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) employees to be placed on paid leave, on January 21, 2025, President Trump revoked executive Orders (“EO”) 11246 and 13672.
EO 11246 was established in 1965 to require certain government contractors to protect women and minorities with affirmative action efforts and programs. EO 13672, established in 2014, prohibited contractors from discriminating against workers based upon sexual orientation and gender identity.
