University of Florida terminates all DEI employees to comply with law signed by DeSantisThe University of Florida is one of the first higher education institutions to eliminate and defund all of its DEI positions in response to a state law approved last year by Gov. Ron DeSantis.
The move comes after the Florida Board of Education announced in January that taxpayer dollars would no longer be allowed to fund DEI-related positions. "Higher education must return to its essential foundations of academic integrity and the pursuit of knowledge instead of being corrupted by destructive ideologies," state education commissioner Manny Diaz Jr. said at the time. The policy applies to all 28 publicly funded colleges in the Sunshine State, but the University of Florida, which will reallocate the $5 million it had been spending on DEI initiatives into a faculty retirement fund, appears to be one of the first institutions of higher education to comply with it. Florida's Republican Governor Ron DeSantis took a victory lap by issuing a celebratory post on X. "DEI is toxic and has no place in our public universities," he declared. "I'm glad that Florida was the first state to eliminate DEI and I hope more states follow suit." Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here Continue reading Here.
