Key Findings
The Broader Economic Context The dismantling of federal DEI initiatives aligns with Donald Trump's January 20, 2025, executive order, which mandates the termination of DEI and accessibility programs across 25 federal agencies. Several agencies reported over $800 million in "savings" from DEI cuts. However, these savings fail to account for the long-term economic damage caused by institutional discrimination. "Eliminating DEI programs is not a cost-saving measure—it is a direct assault on economic growth," said William Michael Cunningham, lead analyst of the report. "The data is clear: when minority workers and businesses are excluded, the entire economy suffers." A Call for Action Policymakers and business leaders must recognize that DEI programs are economic growth drivers, not liabilities. Investing in equitable policies and inclusive economic opportunities can unlock trillions in GDP gains, fostering sustainable prosperity for all Americans.
