The inspectors general for at least 17 agencies were terminated in late January .

One such official received a two -sentence letter citing "changing priorities" "They are saving way more than we are spending on them," a professor says.

The firing of inspectors general came as one of the new administration’s initial actions.

The Inspector General Act of 1978 states that terminations can only happen after the plans are communicated to Congress 30 days in advance.

In 1981 , President Ronald Reagan dismissed more than a dozen inspectors general, yet reversed and hired back at least five after accusations by Republicans and Democrats of politicizing the role.
