The University of Florida is firing all employees in Diversity, Equity and
Inclusion (DEI) positions and administrative appointments, according to a
memo sent on Friday.
"To comply with the Florida Board of Governors' regulation 9.016 on
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," the memo states.
"Under the direction of UF Human Resources, university employees whose
positions were eliminated will receive UFs standard twelve weeks of pay."
These colleagues are allowed and encouraged to apply, between now and
Friday, April 19, for expedited consideration for different positions
currently posted with the university. UF HR will work to fast-track the
interview process and provide an answer on all applications within the
twelve-week window.
The Independent Florida Alligator, a campus newspaper, said 13 full-time
diversity, equity and inclusion positions were dismissed and 15
administrative appointments were eliminated.
COLLEGE DEI CRACKDOWN PASSES ALABAMA SENATE
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who has made halting DEI a cornerstone of his
efforts to overhaul education in the state, wrote on X, "Florida is where
DEI goes to die."
"DEI is toxic and has no place in our public universities. Im glad that
Florida was the first state to eliminate DEI and I hope more states follow
suit," DeSantis added.
The Florida Board of Governors passed the regulation in January limiting
public funding for DEI, defining them as "any program, campus activity, or
policy that classifies individuals on the basis of race, color, sex,
national origin, gender identity, or sexual orientation and promotes
differential or preferential treatment of individuals on the basis of such
classification.
DEI campus proponents argue they help correct systemic inequities and
address increasingly diverse student populations, while its foes like
DeSantis have said they are a form of leftist discrimination.
Conservative activist Christopher Rufo also celebrated the decision,
writing on X, "The conservative counter-revolution has begun."
"Higher education must return to its essential foundations of academic
integrity and the pursuit of knowledge instead of being corrupted by
destructive ideologies," Florida Commissioner of Education Manny Diaz, Jr.
said last month.
"These actions today ensure that we will not spend taxpayers money
supporting DEI and radical indoctrination that promotes division in our
society."

CASE
The University of Florida memo added that the Office of the Chief
Financial Officer would reallocate the approximately $5 million in funds
previously reported to Tallahassee for DEI expenses into a faculty
recruitment fund. The memo added a defiant statement at the end.
"Finally, the University of Florida is and will always be unwavering
in our commitment to universal human dignity. As we educate students by
thoughtfully engaging a wide range of ideas and views, we will continue to
foster a community of trust and respect for every member of the Gator
Nation. The University of Florida is an elite institution because of our
incredible faculty who are committed to teaching, discovering, and
serving," the memo states. The president of the University of Florida is
former Republican Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse, who took over the post last
year. It's one of the largest universities in the United States with more
than 61,000 undergraduate and graduate students enrolled.
