Pilot Schedule F at USAID and impose SES Mobility rotations
Mandate makes USAID a Schedule F pilot under reinstated EO 13957, expands Schedule A hiring, places a political CHCO, and reworks SES via mandatory mobility/details.
Mandate
Mandate Ch. 9 (USAID) — Human Capital: name political CHCO; explore AD and Schedule C hiring; USAID should pilot-test reinstated EO 13957 Schedule F; aggressively recruit Schedule A term appointments; CHCO should rework SES placement and institute SES Mobility Program for regular rotation including details elsewhere.
Undo plan
1) Rescind Schedule F conversions that strip career due-process protections from policy-influencing roles.
2) Restore SES assignment norms against forced political rotations.
3) Keep Schedule A for true experts without replacing competitive service wholesale.
4) Affirm whistleblower and Hatch Act protections during any personnel reform.
5) Verify: MSPB/OSC case trends; vacancy and attrition data post-changes.
