The Smithsonian Institution reportedly told staff members today, January 28, that it is closing its office for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) to comply with an executive order (EO) issued by President Donald Trump last week. The controversial order requires all federally funded agencies to end their DEI programs and initiatives.
In a staffwide email, Smithsonian Secretary Lonnie G. Bunch III said that the closure of the institution’s office is a “first step” to respond to the new federal mandate, as reported by the Washington Post. Quelle: Hyperalergic
