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.

  2. The horror! These people might actually need to get actual jobs that actually involve actual work.

  3. The Spook former DEI 6-figure salary administrators are beating the jungle drums about the racist De Santis disrespecting them. Maybe they can get a job at Disney Land, Starbucks or the local Aldis.

  4. We see small steps that are shutting the insanity down. A long way to go but at least the tide appears to be turning. I would not expect all this to go away overnight. I find this ruling encouraging. Now if others will follow suit.

  6. They'll figure a way around it - simply give it a different name. I was at UF in '76. Don't recall it being so off the wall back then. No doubt it is now.
