Another big win for Ron DeSantis. Here is the official announcement:
To comply with the Florida Board of Governor’s regulation of prohibited expenditures, 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.
AP reports that the move lays off 13 full-time DEI staffers and ends DEI administrative appointments for 15 other faculty. The new law ends DEI programs at all other Florida public colleges and universities too.
DeSantis again shows why he’s America’s Governor. Now he should dedicate the dollar savings to reduce tuition costs at Florida universities.
We hope other red states do the same.
