Hala-fricking-lulia. I had arms-length exposure to these indignant idiots last year (different school). It's a cancer. If not stopped, excellence will be a thing of the past.

Oh look Ron DeSantis legislation doing the things we conservatives truly want.
Imagine if that was on a Federal Level.

Wow! Obviously it pays big to sit around all day and think of new ways to be racist. Holy cow, look at those salaries!

About damn time we see some push back on this DEI crap. It's govt sponsored systemic racism, plain and simple.

Perfect. Keep crafting his skills through the end of his second term in January 2027 then spend two years running for President like we said he should.

I would imagine this will be seen at more universities. Higher Ed is starting to face a massive fiscal reckoning (Arizona, WVU, Penn State, Univ of Del) have all announced massive budget shortfalls.
Departments are being rationalized by how much they contribute to the bottom line. Which is how it should be.

The NAACP asked Black student-athletes to reconsider their decisions to attend public colleges and universities in the state of Florida, in response to the University of Florida and other state schools recently eliminating their diversity, equity and inclusion programs.
In a letter sent to NCAA president Charlie Baker and addressed to current and prospective student-athletes Monday, NAACP president and CEO Derrick Johnson wrote, "This is not about politics. It's about the protection of our community, the progression of our culture, and most of all, it's about your education, and your future."
Last year, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill that prohibits the use of state funds for any DEI programs. As a result, the University of Florida announced on March 1 it had closed the Office of the Chief Diversity Officer, eliminated 13 full-time DEI positions and 15 administrative appointments and halted DEI-focused contracts with outside vendors.
Other in-state schools, such as North Florida and Florida International, have also recently shuttered DEI programs.
NFL Hall of Famer and Florida great Emmitt Smith also spoke out, voicing his disgust at UF's decision and asking minority athletes at UF to "be aware and vocal" about the decision.
In a statement, Johnson said, "Diversity, equity, and inclusion are paramount to ensuring equitable and effective educational outcomes. The value Black and other college athletes bring to large universities is unmatched. If these institutions are unable to completely invest in those athletes, it's time they take their talents elsewhere."
LO F'ING L
Just like with the travel ban. We will find out that the NAACP idiots are still sending their kids to Florida schools.
