The educational department has placed many employees on the entire administrative leave office on Friday. This is part of the waves of the staff and union representatives that the number of institutions is stopped in the deletion of the Trump administration’s diversity efforts.
A letter acquired by The New York Times notified the affected employees that they would lose access to the e -mail account, but will continue to be paid for the indefinite period.
By the end of Friday, this department quoted guidance from the Human Resources Management Bureau, which has been instructed to submit plans to reduce diversity, fairness, and comprehensive efforts.
Brittany holder, a spokeswoman for the US government Federation, stated that the union had been suspended from at least 50 categories.
The scope of the affected people is that it is only a superficial contact with a mentor who provides general coaching in the comprehensive workplace. He concluded that he concluded that they were involved in the whole government’s efforts to break the diversity’s initiative.
This movement began to eradicate the day of Trump’s officials, already moving to a shutter office that focuses on these efforts at the beginning of the week, and then disguised day. It was a sign of that. A large number of organizations have come when they comply with the order issued by President Trump on the first day of the office, dismantle diversity offices, and instruct them to delete their staff. 。
However, according to an interview between those who are on vacation and those who are familiar with the notification, the department seems to be throwing a wide net, the title of the work is not related to the DEI, and the DEI Initiative The only obvious exposure of, has paused. A training format encouraged by the manager. One of the training workshops guessed by employees may have been presumed to have a flag more than nine years ago.
Which criteria are used to identify what is set on vacation, or any of the activities of those employees may fall under a wide range of orders issued to roll back the DEI Initiative throughout the federal government. It was not clear whether there was sex. Last month, the personnel management memo that layout the diversity program purging calls employees to “impersonate these programs using codeized languages or illegal languages.”
The spokesman in the department did not respond to the comment request.
SUBODH CHANDRA is a civil rights lawyer representing one of the staff who took vacation at the Civil Rights Bureau of the Education Bureau, and his clients were “completely confused.” The graduates of the West Points and the Army’s retirement staff are employed, engagement, and diversity, formed under Trump’s previous administration by his political appointment, Kimberry Ritchie and Kenneth Marcus. It was appointed as a coverage council. Former prosecutor, he has been evaluated as “complete” in the past three times, said in the role of supervising a regional office in two states.
Chandra said that the committee continued under President Joseph R. Biden Jr., but he had not met since December, and is certainly not after Trump took office.
“My client has served on our own country between 9/11 and served as a US military,” said Chandra. “He happens to be a white man, but it should not make a difference. He should not be a victim of retaliation for opposition to anyone, and the administration faithfully service to our country. We hope all legal relief measures.
Another staff talked about anonymously because of a vivid position, but diversity training is considered to be daily around the department, and about 300 sessions for two days have been about 300 years. He said that he attracted people.
Several staff, Dennis L. Carter, who has been nominated as the Secretary of Education until the candidate of Mr. Trump led the department, urges his colleagues to attend a session, and provides participants free of charge as in last year. He said he urged him to do.
The recipient of the letter notifying the suspension included the staff of the Federal Student Department of the Division and other people in the civil rights bureau. The department will also notify all employees of the recently joined the Civil Rights Bureau, and the fact that they are still in the career observation period will judge their jobs to judge their needs. I notified it.
The letter told the employees that the decision to put them on vacation was “not being made for disciplinary purposes,” and “in accordance with the president’s order.” However, they did not specify how long the vacation would last or why their employees were identified for a pause.
Throughout the first two weeks, the Trump administration has repeatedly stated that a specific program temporarily pause and puts some federal workers aside, but can notify the staff reduction and bureaucratic changes. We carry out more comprehensive reviews. However, it happened, and many federal workers were unintended confusion and anxiety.
