Congress’s Diversity and Inclusion office is set to be formally scrapped under the latest GOP rules package.

The 36-page proposal officially eliminates the congressional Diversity & Inclusion Office, which was first launched by Democrats in 2020 as part of an effort to discriminate against white applicants.

Funding for the office was already eliminated in a government spending bill passed in March, with plans to merge it into a new Office of Talent Management.
