President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Feb. 10 eliminating the Federal Executive Institute, a leadership training center that was established more than 50 years ago.

The order states that the institute’s removal was driven by the Trump administration’s policy of eliminating, “to the greatest extent permitted by law, executive departments and agencies and programs that do not directly benefit the American people or further our Nation’s interests.”
