Trump’s ‘Schedule G’ broadens scope for agencies to hire political appointees

https://federalnewsnetwork.com/workforce/2025/07/trumps-schedule-g-broadens-scope-for-agencies-to-hire-political-appointees/

. . .

The creation of Schedule G is the second new federal employment classification that Trump has added for the federal workforce. On his first day in office, Trump also created Schedule Policy/Career — a revival of the previous Schedule F employment category from Trump’s first term. Schedule Policy/Career is reserved for career members of the civil service. Any employees moved into that category lose their civil service protections, making it easier for agencies to fire them.

Don Kettl, professor emeritus and former dean of the University of Maryland’s school of public policy, described the new order on Schedule G as a way to give the Trump administration a “blank check” for adding political appointees across government.

“The administration clearly has in mind a fundamental reset of the basic policies and protections that have been in place for 140 years,” Kettl said in an interview. “It is hard to underestimate the enormity of the issue here — and the potential implications that could be coming down the road.”
