Federal Executive Institute Axed After Half-Century Run
Published Date: 2/14/2025
Presidential Document
Summary
The government is shutting down the Federal Executive Institute, a leadership training program for federal workers that’s been around for over 50 years. This move aims to save taxpayer money and focus the government on serving the American people, not expanding bureaucracy. The Office of Personnel Management will handle the closure, following all legal rules, with no specific budget changes announced yet.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.
Federal Executive Institute Eliminated
The President issued Executive Order 14207 on February 10, 2025 directing that the Federal Executive Institute (a leadership training program created more than 50 years ago) be eliminated. The Order revokes the Presidential Memorandum of May 9, 1968 and any applicable provisions of Executive Order 11348, and directs the Director of the Office of Personnel Management to take all necessary steps to eliminate the Institute in accordance with law.
Closure Subject to Law and Funding
The Order requires implementation "consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations." That means the Director of the Office of Personnel Management must follow legal requirements and any action to eliminate the Institute depends on available funding.
