College students and faculty are protesting protesting and the NAACP are calling for a BOYCOTT of black athletes attending Florida colleges and universities over the total ELIMINATION of government funding for discriminatory DEI programs in colleges and universities.
Student groups across campus joined together for an open letter denouncing the firings, particularly the firing of the university’s chief diversity officer, Marsha McGriff.
“As students, we have watched Dr. Marsha McGriff champion a campus where all students, no matter their background, may be enabled to embody our guiding values and fulfill our mission to lead and influence the next generation and beyond for economic cultural and societal benefit,” the statement read.
The letter was signed by the presidents of the college’s Hispanic Student Union, Black Student Union, Women’s Student Association, Asian American Student Union, Jewish Student Union, Pride Student Union, and the Florida Cicerones.
“In these moments, those who fail to understand the benefits of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and the Office of the Chief Diversity Officer find themselves on the wrong side of history,” the letter continued.
An administrative memo released on March 2 announced the firings, citing a recent state ban on the use of public funds for diversity, equity and inclusion programs, activities and policies — as well as activities for “political or social activism” — in the public college system.
“As we educate students by thoughtfully engaging a wide range of ideas and views, we will continue to foster a community of trust and respect for every member of the Gator Nation,” the memo said.
