  • With the incoming Trump administration firing the first salvo in its war against DEI, what might the future hold for disability employment?

The article by Gus Alexiou for Forbes, published on January 23, 2025, discusses the implications of President Trump's rollback of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives on disability inclusion. It highlights how these policy changes could potentially reverse progress made in workplace diversity, particularly affecting individuals with disabilities. The rollback includes the elimination of DEI training programs, the reduction of funding for disability support services, and changes to regulations that previously protected disabled employees from discrimination. The article points out that these actions might lead to less representation and fewer opportunities for people with disabilities in the workforce. It also mentions concerns from advocacy groups about the potential increase in employment discrimination and the loss of accommodations that enable disabled individuals to work effectively. The piece concludes by noting the broader societal impact, suggesting that without DEI policies, the inclusion of marginalized groups, including those with disabilities, could suffer significantly.
