đź’¨ Abstract

Republican-led states are rapidly increasing efforts to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, moving from higher education to broader government functions under President Trump. Governors and lawmakers have doubled efforts targeting DEI in 2025, following a similar trend from the previous year. Trump's executive orders and conservative think-tank models have spurred these actions, focusing on abolishing DEI offices, ending mandatory training, and banning preferential treatments.
