"University of Florida Cuts All DEI Positions in Compliance with State Law"
TL;DR Summary
The University of Florida is terminating all diversity, equity and inclusion positions to comply with a state law, prompting DEI employees to receive 12 weeks of pay and seek other positions at the university. This move follows Florida's governor signing legislation banning public colleges from using tax dollars for DEI initiatives, and the state board of education defining DEI as promoting division in society. Meanwhile, the New York attorney general is taking legal action against Nassau county for an executive order restricting transgender women and girls from participating in athletic events, citing it as "transphobic and blatantly illegal."
