"UF Compliance: Florida University Cuts All DEI Positions in Response to State Regulations"

The University of Florida has eliminated all diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) positions and activities in response to new state regulations banning the use of public funds for DEI programs and activities. The move follows similar bans by the Florida Board of Education and the Board of Governors, prompting criticism from some who view it as censorship and exclusion. The decision to eliminate DEI positions has sparked debate over the role of DEI in higher education, with supporters arguing for its importance and opponents expressing concerns about the equity component of DEI.
