On January 22, 2025, President Trump issued executive orders rolling back diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and accessibility initiatives. Then, in February, a federal court issued a preliminary injunction blocking the government from terminating any equity-related grants or contracts.
The Trump Administration’s DEI executive orders and subsequent federal court injunction blocking their implementation has created a complex and quickly evolving situation for employers and recipients of federal grants or funding in the arts to address.
Please join Arts Midwest and attorneys from McDermott Will & Emery LLP for a free webinar to help your organization navigate these changes effectively, where we will unpack the potential impact of the executive orders on the future of DEI initiatives and what to watch for in the ongoing litigation around these orders.
