Florida education board 'permanently' bans DEI at public colleges

The Florida State Board of Education on Wednesday passed a rule to “permanently prohibit” public spending on diversity, equity, and inclusion at public colleges.

The board announced its “strict regulations” on DEI to encompass programs, activities, and policies in the Florida College System, which “will ensure that taxpayer funds can no longer be used to promote DEI on Florida’s 28 state college campuses,” according to a press release.
