The real crazy thing is that this post violates the neutrality policy it references. Plus an institution that refused to admit Black people for over 100 years had as its founding purpose discrimination.
.@EDSecMcMahon is correct. DEI is discriminatory by design, antithetical to the purpose of a university, and incompatible with the pursuit of truth.
The University of Florida has already acted on that conviction. In December 2025, our Board of Trustees adopted institutional neutrality and embedded an anti-DEI mandate within the presidential contract itself, ensuring that no university funds, public or private, will underwrite DEI at this institution.
Dr. Stuart Bell stands with Secretary McMahon, the Board, and the people of Florida on this. He is ready to lead UF forward as a university defined by merit, rigor, and the pursuit of truth.

2/3 Campus labor can help us all “understand authoritarian consolidation, not as partisan politics but as a structural threat to the conditions that make unions, universities, and democratic participation possible.”

3/3 “…Every grievance filed, every contract fight won, every solidarity action taken builds the muscle memory for the larger fight ahead. The skills of collective action —negotiation, mobilization, discipline, endurance—are not innate. They are built through practice.” 🔗🔝✊🏼✊🏽

Stuart Bell's diversity plan at the University of Alabama was ambitious. And it worked.
Under his tenure, Black and Latino enrollment nearly doubled. Will his history as a DEI-supporting former president matter in Florida?

This is the cycle they don’t want you to notice:
Underfund public schools.
Blame them for the challenges that follow.
Redirect taxpayer dollars to private operators with less accountability.
Repeat.
Public funds belong in public schools where students, not profits, come first.
