Last April, I was on a search committee and one of the short list candidates told us she was attracted to us because of our commitment to diversity. I internally wept because I knew this bill was on the tracks.

That's a stupid and authoritarian bill. If people want to employ DEI, do so. If they don't, don't.
I don't understand how that's constitutional. But then, I also don't understand how DeSantis' preclusion of certain content in FL is either. My guess is its constitutional until someone sues and it is found otherwise.
