Censorship in Higher Education
The epitome of censorship. Prohibits state colleges and universities from spending any state or federal dollars on programs that advocate for DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) policies or social activism and severely restricts general education core content. Undoes tenure protections, hurting academic freedom. Shifts all faculty hiring to Boards of Trustees and bans considering DEI in hiring or promotion. Removes “gender” from non-discrimination funding policy. By defunding campus activities that support DEI or CRT, threatens every state university’s LGBTQ+ support programs and other diversity programs. Signed into law by DeSantis.
