Review of EEOC’s Compliance with Executive Order 13950

On September 22, 2020, President Donald J. Trump issued Executive Order 13950 (EO or the Order), “Combating Race and Sex Stereotyping,” which requires federal agencies, federal grantees, federal contractors, and the Uniformed Services to address trainings that include divisive concepts, race or sex stereotyping, and race and sex scapegoating. Section 6(c)(ii) of the Order states that each agency head shall request the agency’s Inspector General to thoroughly review and assess by the end of the calendar year, and not less than annually thereafter, agency compliance with the requirements of this Order, in the form of a report submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The Chair of the U. S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) sent the request to the Inspector General on October 25, 2020. This report presents the findings of the Inspector General’s review.
