Trump admin seeks to make federal CIOs political appointees
Briefly

Chief Information Officers (CIOs) in U.S. federal agencies are experiencing increased job uncertainty as the Trump administration proposes reclassifying these roles from neutral technocrats to political appointees. The Office of Personnel Management's memo suggests that CIOs will now be expected to actively participate in policymaking on politically critical issues, potentially sidelining those who do not align with the administration's agenda. This shift aligns with President Trump's efforts to ensure that the federal workforce is in sync with the administration's directives, threatening job security for CIOs who resist such changes.
