University of Florida eliminates DEI office, will put its $5M toward recruiting faculty
|
[NYPost] DeSantis comes through
The University of Florida on Friday closed its diversity office and fired 13 full-time staffers to comply with a new state law that bans Sunshine State schools from spending on such ideologies.
“The University of Florida has closed the Office of the Chief Diversity Officer, eliminated DEI positions and administrative appointments, and halted DEI-focused contracts with outside vendors,” the memo issued by the university provost, the general counsel, and the vice president for human resources read.
The $5 million allocated for diversity, equity and inclusion will now be redistributed to faculty recruitment, it added.
The announcement comes in light of a 2023 statute prohibiting the university from spending state or federal funds on DEI initiatives, reported the Alligator, the school’s paper.
The statute was approved in its final form by the Florida Board of Governors on Jan. 24, the outlet added.
The memo did not touch on the future of the Center for Inclusion and Multicultural Engagement, which received over $400,000 in the 2022-2023 UF operating budget – 85% of which came from the state, the Alligator noted.
The center includes officers for LGBTQ+, black, Asian and Hispanic student groups, according to its website.
