Got it. OP was making it sound like UF did the firing but the governor did. I guess he was looking for upvotes with his wording.

Yes, and, they are maybe the main reason that so many big corporations turned "woke" in the last 3 years.

Nah. There won’t be any twisting into positions that do DEI.

It’s now illegal.

Before we get all giddy about the school, they didnt decide this, they were forced to stop racism by the Florida Board of Governors that oversees their universities.......

quote:

The board also approved Regulation 9.016, which prohibits universities from using state or federal funds to support campus activities that advocate DEI or “political or social activism.”

The positions won't be DEI related.

First good thing my alma mater has done in a long time. Are there any pictures of sobbing employees leaving campus?



I might start back making donations to the law school. I quit after that ridiculousness with Gator Bait being banned because of the bs story about it being rooted in using slave babies as bait to catch gators.

But DEI is literally illegal in Florida campuses

Illegal. It’s glorious.


The press release says they will all be re-hireable in to other positions. How do we know this won't just continue under another name.

DEI assistant becomes HR assistant.

Could be. But DEI is illegal.

They can only apply for open positions.
