Bass Berry & Sims – On March 14, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit granted the government’s motion for a stay pending appeal, terminating a Maryland district court’s injunction of certain elements of President Trump’s diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) executive orders. The orders focused on ending government DEI programs and promoting merit-based opportunities. This ruling allows the administration to proceed with implementing DEI-related certification requirements for federal contracts and grants.
