"University of Florida Cuts DEI Office, Redirects $5M to Faculty Recruitment"

The University of Florida has closed its diversity office and terminated 13 full-time staff positions in compliance with a new Florida state law prohibiting spending on diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. The $5 million previously allocated for DEI efforts will now be redirected to faculty recruitment. The university's decision comes in response to a 2023 statute banning the use of state or federal funds for DEI programs. The future of the Center for Inclusion and Multicultural Engagement, which received significant state funding, remains uncertain. Employees affected by the closures will receive 12 weeks of pay and are encouraged to apply for other positions within the university.
