The General Services Administration (GSA) plans to issue a final rule that will partly undo updates made to the Federal Management Regulation concerning diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility. This move follows two Executive Orders from January 2025, which direct federal agencies to revert changes made by the previous administration. The update will involve changing non-gendered language to gendered language and removing certain diversity-related language. The planned rescission will affect specific parts of the regulation as detailed by the GSA.
Simple Explanation
The General Services Administration (GSA) is making changes to some rules to use more traditional language and take away some words about diversity, so that these rules match instructions from new leaders in the government.
