The White House released a fact sheet summarizing President Donald Trump's actions to end Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) practices across government, education, and the private sector during his 21-month tenure. The Trump administration, through a series of executive orders and settlement agreements, rescinded the previous administration's DEI directives and promoted merit-based policies within the federal government, military, educational institutions, and federal contractors. This included reaching settlements ranging from tens of millions to hundreds of millions of dollars with institutions such as Columbia University, Brown University, Cornell University, and Northwestern University to address concerns arising from DEI policies.
