The State Department eliminated DEI requirements from performance evaluations of Foreign Service Officers.
The slides discouraged using first names for women or minorities and titles for men, as well.
Additionally, as DOGE pointed out in its post, the slides asked local organizations to promote diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility (DEIA) programs, training and lectures as well as annual DEIA awards ceremonies.
The foreign service officers were also encouraged to set race and gender quotas on embassy speaking panels and other diplomatic events.

Trump's DOGE efforts have saved the American taxpayer $140 billion, according to its website, which represents about $870 saved per taxpayer.
