University of Florida officials 'lied through their teeth' by massively downplaying their DEI work in filing to DeSantis: Claimed to have 30 diversity schemes when the real total was more than 1,000

Here is a chance for DeSantis to walk the walk.

He has talked about firing federal employees who do the wrong thing if elected President. Show us how it is done at University of Florida.

I've discovered through these bombshell documents that they, in fact, had more than 1,000 separate DEI programs embedded in every facet of the university's programs and administration.'

Advocates of DEI schemes say they tackle longstanding racist and sexist discrimination in schools and workplaces, but critics say they end up stoking divisions between groups and marginalizing white men.

DeSantis, a Republican, late last year told Florida's public universities to disclose all government funds spent toward programs, classes and other initiatives related to DEI and the teaching of critical race theory.

In its official reply, the Gainesville-based University of Florida, which has roughly 8,000 academics and 60,000 students, said it runs some 30 to 40 DEI schemes at a cost of more than $5 million per year.
