Education Department places dozens of officials on leave over Trump's DEI order, union says

Dept of EdDozens of U.S. Department of Education officials were suddenly put on paid administrative leave Friday night, their union said, because of President Donald Trump’s executive order banning diversity, equity and inclusion programs in the federal government.

The employees worked in multiple offices across the agency and included civil rights attorneys, public relations and IT specialists, people who helped students defrauded by colleges and others, according to Brittany Holder, a spokesperson for the American Federation of Government Employees.

The staffers were explicitly told by the Education Department that the decision to place them on leave was “not being done for any disciplinary purpose” but was pursuant to the president’s DEI-related executive order, according to a memo obtained by USA TODAY. Their email access was also suspended.
