DeSantis signs 3 bills ending CRT, DEI spending in higher education


Gov. Ron DeSantis signed several higher education bills into law Monday while speaking at New College of Florida in Sarasota.

Among the bills signed was SB 266, which uses broader definitions to limit, but not eliminate, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs in colleges and universities in the state.

The law prohibits colleges and universities from spending public dollars on DEI initiatives that promote “dangerous political and social activism,” prevents the teaching of critical race theory, and DEI in general education courses, and bars programs, majors, minors, and curriculum based on these and related theories.
