Diversity, Equity and Inclusion employees will no longer have a job at UF

The University of Florida announced Friday that it is eliminating all Diversity, Equity and Inclusion employee positions.
This change, announced through an emailed administrative memo, comes after the Florida Board of Governors labeled expenditures related to DEI programs as prohibited expenditures.
The memo explains that "to comply with the Florida Board of Governor’s regulation 9.016 on prohibited expenditures, 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 Board of Governors defines DEI as "any program, campus activity, or policy that classifies individuals on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, gender identity, or sexual orientation and promotes differential or preferential treatment of individuals on the basis of such classification." . . .

Good Grief the pearl clutchers down here in liberal academia are besides themselves.
It's a wonderful thing.

Tumpy won't get no where near what DeSantis has already done.
But all y'all like that big show I guess... Rather than the guy getting it done. *SMH*
