Federal Enforcement Strategy Targets DEI Initiatives in Education and Private Sector

A new Executive Order and recent publications from the U.S. Department of Education outline an enforcement strategy targeting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives in both education and the private sector. The strategy emphasizes increased oversight and potential limitations on DEI programs that are seen as non-compliant with federal regulations. This approach reflects a broader shift in federal policy, aiming to ensure that DEI efforts align with existing legal standards while addressing concerns about fairness and equal opportunity.
