“The next conservative Administration should dismantle USAID’s DEI apparatus by eliminating the Chief Diversity Officer position along with the DEI advisers and committees; cancel the DEI scorecard and dashboard; remove DEI requirements from contract and grant tenders and awards; issue a directive to cease promotion of the DEI agenda, including the bullying LGBTQ+ agenda; and provide staff a confidential medium through which to adjudicate cases of political retaliation that agency or implementing staff suffered during the Biden Administration.”

What has happened

Jul 1, 2025 Done
The agency-wide DEI scorecard and dashboard covered USAID's bureaus, offices and missions, all of which ceased to exist when the agency stopped implementing foreign assistance on 2025-07-01. USAID's DEI apparatus is described in the past tense in a Primary allowlisted record: the preamble to State's Combating Discriminatory Equity Ideology in Foreign Assistance rule recites that "[u]nder the previous administration, USAID issued DEI strategic action plans, installed Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) advisers and DEI committees 'in all of its bureaus, offices, and [overseas] missions,' and monitored compliance with 'an agency-wide dashboard and DEI scorecard for all bureaus, offices, and missions'."
