Some federal employees at the Education Department have been placed on administrative leave for previously attending a diversity training.
Several employees began receiving leave notices late Friday and reported them to their local union president at the American Federation of Government Employees, confirmed Brittany Holder, deputy communications director at AFGE, which represents federal workers at the agency.
The action comes as President Donald Trump has ordered federal agencies to examine and dismantle any programs or initiatives that seek to bolster diversity, equity and inclusion. A memo reviewed by POLITICO that was sent Friday informed agency workers that they had been placed on leave because of the president’s executive order on DEIA and further guidance from the Office of Personnel Management.
