Prof. Nick Bednar ’16 Quoted in Reuters About Software Tool Designed to More Easily Fire Government Employees

Professor Nick Bednar ’16 was quoted in Reuters about the software that will speed layoffs across the U.S. government. The tool is being rolled out by the federal human resources agency at the heart of Elon Musk’s efforts to slash the federal workforce and provides targets for layoffs much more quickly than the current labor-intensive manual process. Prof. Bednar said the tool will allow agencies “to remove a massive number of federal employees from their positions. What DOGE has started is going to continue without Elon Musk.”
