US EditionTrump administration bans use of race, sex data in federal hiring
- On Thursday, the Trump administration introduced new guidelines as part of a Merit Hiring Plan that prohibit federal agencies from factoring in race or gender during their hiring processes.
- These guidelines originate from an executive order signed by President Trump on his first day in office, which aims to enhance merit-based hiring practices and remove diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives within federal agencies.
- The 30-page memo from the Office of Personnel Management directs agencies to prioritize merit and competence by implementing thorough, relevant assessments, remove unnecessary degree requirements, and focus recruitment efforts on state universities, trade schools, and military sources.
- The memo emphasizes that claims of promoting diversity or equity do not permit unfair treatment involving race, gender, color, religion, or national origin, and it forbids the disclosure of workforce demographic data categorized by these factors.
- Critics say the memo attempts to prioritize loyalty to the president over rule of law and reshape the federal workforce, requiring candidates to explain how they would advance presidential policies if hired.
