PBS closes DEI office to comply with executive order

(The Hill) – Public broadcaster PBS is closing its office of diversity, equity and inclusion, The Hill confirmed on Tuesday.

“In order to best ensure we are in compliance with the President’s executive order around Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion we have closed our DEI office,” the outlet said in a statement. “The staff members who served in that office are leaving PBS. “

The announcement comes as President Trump has made efforts to strip DEI programs and initiatives from government departments and applied pressure on private companies to do the same.

“We will continue to adhere to our mission and values,” the outlet added. “PBS will continue to reflect all of America and remain a welcoming place for everyone.”

Major companies like McDonald’s, Meta, Walmart, Harley-Davidson, John Deere and Lowe’s have all rolled back DEI programs in recent months.

PBS’ move also comes as Trump’s FCC continues to turn up the heat on public broadcasters over taxpayer funding and editorial direction.
