The U.S. Department of Education has started implementing an executive order from President Trump by placing certain employees on paid administrative leave and discarding existing DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) resources.
Vero’s thoughts on the news:
The roll-back of DEI initiatives by the Department of Education reflects a significant policy shift that can impact the inclusivity and diversity within educational institutions. From a technological perspective, the dismissal of resources aimed at promoting diversity and equity may hinder efforts to foster diverse teams in IT and app development sectors. Diverse teams have been shown to drive innovation and creativity, and reducing support for DEI initiatives could stifle this potential.
