Laura, you are on the right track here but are missing the core point that this is at least the third time that DeSantis has sided with DEI and the Woke Mob of College Presidents, and that DEI is weakest failure despite being his strongest brand.
Last year at UF, and also at Florida Tech, where your friend
@JamesOKeefeIII & I exposed DeSantis "instructing" my University President on how to defraud Trump's EOs on DEI for over $69M annually. Ron never helped the whistleblower (me) nor took back the state funds of millions that we caught him being defrauded of on DEI (e.g. $7M in state funds we caught admitted on video with

@SteveCrisafulli - was there a kickback in place in Ron's Office?
And, we have reason to believe that Ron's Comms team (
@BryanDGriffin) Lied to O'Keefe in their official statement (denying it was Ron who did it, but confirming that it happened from their Office): listen to the President on video and it was clearly Ron (I was there as a witness and it was who we were led to believe it was- and no other option exists to fit the description provided on video by the Woke Univ President (

Other schools like UCF are known to be non-complying with Ron's DEI, too, and with zero accountability nor support of Ron's supporters who blow the whistle to stop fraud in Florida. Ron's actions have left no choice but the obvious in a continuing trend of reluctant reporting by Ron's allies: You can't spell DEsantIs without DEI, and Florida is Where Woke Comes to Lie.
