Well, there goes my alma mater circling the drain.

They’re so blessed to have Ben Sasse as the president of Gatorville.

[dfwgator]

Ok Ben, what are you going to do about it?

They’re so blessed to have Ben Sasse as the president of Gatorville.

Amazing that this is happening under a president who just nine years ago won a Senate seat by campaigning as a Tea Party conservative.

Hey Desantis, stay focused on Florida. Still a lot to do here at home.

[KC Burke]

Hence my tag line for the last three months.

I won’t hold my breath waiting to see if there’s any action by Sasse. Getting rid of her would be racist, sexist, and everything else by today’s standards. She’s off and running the place.

If you can't beat them, join them and then betray them. It's like the deep state insurgency is just everywhere. We are run by folks who are not even honest with themselves.

[DeplorablePaul]

A good start would be to defund all taxpayer funded DEI administer jobs.

We have to burn the village to save it.

Fortunately, legislators in Tallahassee have taken notice. House Republicans have proposed legislation that would eliminate DEI programming at all Florida public universities.

A more logical response to Woke universities is to remove all public funding of higher education.

Let market forces decide the market place of ideas.

The best students will go where they best compete.

The DEI will only exist where they can garner contributions from woke billionaires.

Eventually the market for college graduates will discern that Woke universities pump out mediocre graduated who sow hate and division in the work place.

Then these places of higher mid-education will fade in to history.

Thankfully my children graduated before Obama’s marxist army became embedded in the country’s education system. Pre-Obama, UF was relatively conservative and ranked high as one of the best public universities in the country. Sadly, they’ve been targeted for destruction by the left ever since.

I will go out on a limb and say, not a thing.

[SuperLuminal]

I Hope DeSantis handles it better than Youngkin handled his education-indoctrination problems...

[CommerceComet]

Ok Ben, what are you going to do about it?

Nothing. That's why they brought him in. He's a prop to deflect criticism. You can hear the skeptics saying 'how bad can DEI be? They brought in a conservative Republican to run the university.' Of course, they are using their definition of "conservative" because I have yet to see a strong conversative who likes Sasse.

Perfect description.

HR departments routinely filter out any non-minority class job applicants. They report to their boards the “progress” they are making in diversifying the employees.

Stock holders should sue.

DEI = Division + Erroneous Indoctrination
