  • 2025-02181 — Restoring America's Fighting Force
    Type:Presidential Document
    Citation:90 FR 8763
    Reading Time:about 4 minutes

    The executive order titled "Restoring America's Fighting Force" aims to remove Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs within the U.S. Armed Forces, including the Department of Defense and Homeland Security, particularly the Coast Guard. It states that hiring practices should be free from preferences based on race or sex and mandates the abolition of DEI offices. The order also prohibits the promotion of certain ideologies deemed divisive or discriminatory and requires a review of military educational institutions to ensure they align with these principles. Furthermore, the order establishes procedures for implementing these changes and reports on progress while ensuring the changes comply with existing laws and budgets.

    The executive order is about stopping some programs in the military that focus on treating people differently based on their background, and making sure everyone is treated fairly without special rules based on who they are.

The GSA will update the Art in Architecture program to exclude DEI language, preferential treatments, and related data collections. The document provides contact information for further inquiries and can be accessed online for review.

Programs affected by this change will no longer consider these previous criteria for application scoring.
