Stop WOKE at State Act
This bill prohibits the U.S. Department of State from considering diversity, equity, inclusion, or accessibility (DEIA) efforts in Foreign Service officer performance evaluations, tenure decisions, or promotions. It requires replacing all DEIA references in official documents with "merit system principles" from federal law. The bill also mandates reviewing past Performance Improvement Plans during promotion evaluations and requires selection board chairs to share the same career track as the officer being evaluated. It directly affects all Foreign Service officers during their career advancement process. The policy change removes DEIA as a factor in evaluations, focusing solely on merit-based criteria as defined by federal law.
