The Florida Board of Education on Jan. 17 implemented a new rule limiting the use of public funds for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, activities, and policies in the state’s college system.

The decision will “ensure that taxpayer funds can no longer be used to promote DEI on Florida’s 28 state college campuses,” the board revealed in a statement.
