We are witnessing an attempt to make fundamental changes to our national government by centralizing power in the Office of the President, altering historical international relationships, making abrupt changes to the civil service and relationships between government and nonprofit organizations. This administration has relied heavily on a constant barrage of executive orders and memos to make these changes and intimidate, confuse, and disable opposition. With more than 70 executive orders in the first month alone, much of policy conversation has been on issues like immigration, trade, and healthcare. But the impact has been much more far reaching.
In our next Dean’s Forum, we will discuss some of the hidden consequences of these recent executive orders, specifically considering how these changes are impacting nonprofits (here and abroad), small businesses, and day to day operations in cities.
