Schedule F and the Future of Merit in Government
Friday, May 20, 2022; 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm EST
The Standing Panel of Public Service will be discussing the issues around Schedule F and the future of merit in government. The issues raised in the Trump administration’s Schedule F executive order haven’t gone away—and will surely be back, either at the federal or state levels.
After a brief discussion on the background of the executive order and key issues involved, each panelist will be asked to address the following:
● An assessment of Schedule F: the politics and the policy
● Potential solutions to the key issues identified
● A prediction on the future of merit in government:
- Will merit become an obsolete concept, a troubled policy in need of reform, or an important set of core values that need to be reinforced?
