Close the IRS Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion
Printed page 701 22. Department of the Treasury
“The Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion should be closed.”
What has happened
- Done
The office is gone from the IRS's own record of itself. The IRS organization page, last reviewed 5 August 2026, sets out the agency's complete leadership and reporting structure — the Commissioner's direct reports, the Chief Executive Officer's chief-officer roles and every operating division — and contains no Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion and no equivalent post. The agency's full sitemap (twelve pages, 57,110 URLs) has no page for the office either. The exact closure date is not published on any allowlisted page; this event is dated to the first allowlisted record that shows the office gone.
- Attempted
Executive Order 14151 directed every agency head, within sixty days, to terminate "all discriminatory programs, including illegal DEI and 'diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility' (DEIA) mandates, policies, programs, preferences, and activities", and specifically to terminate all DEI, DEIA and environmental justice offices and positions. A government-wide directive naming no agency office in particular; on its own it changed nothing at the IRS.
Research log
What was searched, and what didn’t count as evidence
Research notes
What survives at the IRS is the Office of Civil Rights function required by statute and by Title VI — a different object from the Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion the Quote names.
Dating caveat, flagged for the consistency pass: done is dated to the page’s own review date because no allowlisted source publishes the closure date. The alternative reading — partial, on the ground that absence from an org page is evidence of function rather than proof of it — is recorded in .scratch/research-phase/spot-checks.md.
