On February 10, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to eliminate the Federal Executive Institute (FEI), a leadership training program for federal executives established in 1968 under President Lyndon B. Johnson.
The administration stated that the FEI has contributed to policies that expand the federal bureaucracy without benefiting American families. The order directs the Office of Personnel Management to take necessary steps to dissolve the institute and revokes prior directives mandating its existence.
Whitehouse – “The Federal Executive Institute should therefore be eliminated to refocus Government on serving taxpayers, competence, and dedication to our Constitution, rather than serving the Federal bureaucracy.”
