University of Florida eliminates all DEI positions due to new state rules
The University of Florida has eliminated all diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) positions at the university, according to an administrative memo that was released Friday.
The memo cites a recent state ban on the use of public funds for diversity, equity and inclusion programs, activities and policies -- as well as activities for "political or social activism" -- in the public college system. The Florida Board of Governors passed this restriction in January, shortly after the Florida Board of Education passed a similar ban.
The University of Florida has closed the Office of the Chief Diversity Officer, "eliminated DEI positions and administrative appointments, and halted DEI-focused contracts with outside vendors," the memo states.

Wrong board. Do not support this political issue on the board.

They did it because the governor forced their hand due to funding restrictions. I’m glad they did it, but at the same time they were somewhat forced to. Don’t crow too much about their leadership.

This country has far surpassed needing DEI to make sure minorities get equal treatment. That was proven when they elected Obama. If anything white are being most discriminated against at this point.

I'm not sure we can give them credit for being forced to do the right thing by the state government.
