Trump admin directs federal agencies to end DEI considerations in govt contracts as DOGE's impact spreads
Fox News
The Trump administration is amending federal rules surrounding government contracts that will bar the government from considering DEI programs when handing out projects.
Elon Musk, who has been leading the charge to radically reform the government, praised the move on X, formerly Twitter, in advance of the GSA's formal announcement about the changes. "Major FAR reform is needed," Musk said in a post highlighting GSA acting administrator Stephen Ehikian's announcement about the changes.
"These actions are the first steps in transforming the FAR into a sensible, common sense guideline to ensure that the federal government is working with industry as an attractive partner for business," Josh Gruenbaum, commissioner of the Federal Acquisition Service, told Fox News Digital on Wednesday.
