Zinkes Interior Department reassignments disproportionately targeted Native Americans and women

Newly released government documents show that the reassignment of top staffers last summer by Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke disproportionately targeted Native Americans and women.

Half of the 33 individuals reassigned in July 2017 are women. And nearly a third are Native American. A few other individuals also reassigned are black and Latino.

Zinke was already facing criticism for his approach to diversity after recent reports that he repeatedly told employees “diversity isn’t important.” Last week, Democratic lawmakers called for Congress to investigate whether Zinke’s reassignment of the 33 senior career civil servants violated federal anti-discrimination laws. This release of documents provides specific details about each reassignment.
