The University of Virginia has agreed to comply with White House guidance to prevent discrimination in admissions and hiring, following federal scrutiny and the resignation of its president, as part of broader efforts by the Trump administration to scrutinize and reform diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives on college campuses.
Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody and Governor Ron DeSantis have announced a state investigation into Starbucks' diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices to determine if they violate Florida's anti-discrimination laws. This follows a federal court ruling that deemed the 2023 Stop Woke Act unconstitutional when applied to businesses. Moody's complaint argues that Starbucks' DEI goals, which include specific racial quotas tied to executive bonuses, may breach federal and state civil rights acts. The Florida Commission on Human Relations will conduct the investigation.
