The unbelievable power of being able to look someone directly in the eye and say, "I met my wife on Livejournal."

DeSantis administration aims to ‘curb’ diversity, equity, inclusion in state universities

BY DIVYA KUMAR

Florida will be looking to “curb” diversity, equity and inclusion efforts at the state’s colleges and universities, Lt. Gov. Jeanette Nuñez said Tuesday, offering a preview of what higher education leaders can expect from lawmakers during the upcoming legislative session.

Her statements, delivered at a state Board of Governors meeting at Florida International University in Miami, marked the first time the DeSantis administration has explained why its budget office this month requested a detailed accounting of how much colleges and universities spend on such efforts.

“I can give you a few insights as to what we’re working on coming this session,” Nuñez said before mentioning a statement last week from the presidents of Florida’s 28 state colleges. It pledged to root out any policy or practice that “compels belief in critical race theory or related concepts.” The lieutenant governor then suggested that effort would soon extend to the state’s 12 universities.

“I believe [the colleges are] looking at ways to curb those initiatives, and I think we’ll look at ways to more broadly curb those initiatives as well,” she said.

In a speech that earlier praised the university system for its high rankings and relatively low student debt, Nuñez said “real forces” were “undermining the good work taking place” at the state schools.

“These new threats that are creeping and taking hold are things that we need to face,” she said. “I believe one of the biggest threats that’s infiltrating our universities is a permeating culture — one might call it woke culture, one might call it woke ideology, one might call it identity politics. ... We don’t need to get into all the names, but I do believe that some of these issues are taking hold. The policies they advocate are based on hate and based on indoctrination.”

Nuñez also previewed proposals to review general education courses and give university presidents more control over faculty hiring.

“We want to further empower our presidents to make sure that they own the responsibility of hiring individuals to work in their campuses and make sure it stays in the hands of the leader of the institution more so than in hidden hiring practices and faculty committees,” she said.

The legislative session begins March 7.

In their responses to the governor’s budget office, the 12 public universities said they collectively are spending about $34.5 million this year on diversity, equity and inclusion efforts. About $20.7 million came from state funds.

The University of South Florida reported the highest expenses at $8.7 million, though only $2.5 million came from state funds. Money was spent on initiatives such the university’s supplier diversity program; non-mandatory trainings; a list of 10 courses including “Theatre Appreciation” and “Language in the USA”; and funding for its Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.

Florida A&M University had the highest amount of state funds used at $4.1 million. The school’s expenses included a research center and museum for Black archives and its Center for Environmental Equity and Justice, created by the Legislature in 1998.

Shortly after those responses were submitted, the governor’s budget office sent out a second request requiring universities to report details on any procedures and treatments they had offered related to gender affirming care since 2018. The request did not specify how the information would be used.

Instagram, TikTok and other social media have become daily fixtures in the lives of children and young people around the world, with 59% of young people surveyed by Amnesty International now spending more than two hours of their average day on social media. Yet research on young people’s experiences on social media remains overwhelmingly focused on North America, Europe and Australia. Amnesty International collected responses from 550 children and young people between the ages of 13 and 24 across 45 countries to better understand their lived experiences, concerns and attitudes towards social media. Amidst praise for the diversity of ideas, users’ creativity and opportunities for activism that young people find on social media, two major concerns stand out: the toll harmful content and what many young participants describe as “addictive” platform design take on young people’s mental health and their feeling of powerlessness in the face of global companies’ constant nudging to participate in a vicious cycle of personal data sharing and content consumption.

For some reason. #(Technically it's two playlists but they're for the same character) #(Two points if you can guess the character) #I used to be so worried about annoying people with these (and I still am) #but it really is worth it to make this media platform a bit more social I think

#abby doesnt shut up #I’m feeling extremely torn and conflicted at the moment! #i know for a fact that taylor has a good heart & I really appreciate all of the silent ways in which she embraces diversity #BUT…to do that and date Heelys boy and not speak out and then have pr spewing condescending things isn’t right #and I’m only saying this bc I love her deeply and I know for a fact that she is capable of being better #and it hurts but this is my only safe space. Taylor is the one constant in my life. this fandom is the only place in which I can be myself- #-without judgement and scrutiny of my Disability #like me calling her out 100% comes from a place of love and a genuine wish for her to use her platform positively #rn she’s getting so much support and $ from marginalized fans and fans in general #so the condescending pr coming out is hurtful and idk which of it she’s responsible for but nonetheless #I think it’s okay to feel conflicted. #especially if you are marginalized in any way. #I think if we respectfully call for change it’s okay and ppl who think it’s over dramatic need to shut their mouths!! #also I thought the pride speech was sweet but the part where she said she’s posting and speaking out a lot ?????? #I was in the audience like ???????

[camryemerald]

okay so my spotify wrapped decided the best song for the total minutes listened screen was the one that literally contains the lyric "i gave you all but you're not listening" like ???? excuse me

#spotify wrapped #spotify trying its best to get me to use it more #despite the fact i put 10k minutes into their platform like what #also the genre sandwich was just calling me out for being a pop listener #it just had “[insert country] pop” for each genre :| #i swear my music taste is more diverse but oh well

[unagrancantidaddepanes]

whatever language i write in the tags of posts is a complete gamble between spanish english and french and and it is entierly dependent on which language im thinking in at the time and how cringe i feel in that moment about not speaking english in tags of (normally) posts by english speakers lol also one day i will be strong enough to throw japanese into the mix, god bless

#im always like i wish there was more language diversity on tumblr so ive decided to stop being a coward and do it myself AHJASJHASKJ #everyone pls start doing this as well if u want so i feel less cringe about it LMAOO #brain bouncing around too much to english 👍👍👍 #BOUNCING AROUND #people leave english comments on posts by people who r not english speakers all the time i will single handedly flip this god bless #ik people do that on other platforms but tbh its not that common on tumblr KJASJK at least in my experience here vs with other social media #everyone who follows me will learn what que lindo means so fast 👍 #myposts

fuck yeh!

the programmer for the game im currently working on in class just turned around and said "is our mc a boy or a girl?" and i was like "do they have to be?" and both him and one of the other artists was like "nonbinary! they can be nonbinary!"

the programmer turned back around to his computer and then i heard him quietly say "i didnt know a mouse could be nonbinary"

#boots talks #diversity win! #the main character of this shitty puzzle platformer is nonbinary! #hes now wondering what the gender neutral version of bad boy is and has decided that its bad mouse #funniest part is im p sure we all decided the mc was gonna be a cat #he aint misgendering the mc but he IS mis-species-ing(?) them

[thickest-antivirus-programs]

you know what. stop uploading to youtube and spotify and twich. everyone should have their own website that you learn about through friend recommendation

#and maybe place every one in 10 videos on those platforms but if they want more... :) #idk lol but i wish there was more diversity

[jingyismom]

anybody have recs for body neutral or fat positive blogs to follow? if i don't see some fat bodies treated as normal/attractive/artistic/worthy of existing on my dash regularly i may implode

#looking for artists and photographers mainly #can even be clothing lines with body diverse models idc #i just need this for my mental health #i have a healthy amount of bloggers and writers and activists i follow on other platforms #but i mostly used my old personal blog for gothy aesthetic art and landscapes and some fandom stuff #so ive never gone looking here #but its been Wearing Me Down to only see thin celebrities so #recs?? pls???

so while i haven't been here i've mostly been on a discord rp server for v5 vampire: the masquerade. and while i love some aspects of it (shared-world type setting, defined 'rules' and expectations, moderation when needed, etc) there are things i always have missed from tumblr rp, specifically all the extra character dev opportunities you'd get here. from something like a sentence meme that's just a single sort of snippet-scene out of the larger verse, to the headcanon posts, or headcanon memes, to character aesthetics -- the server setting just doesn't really allow for that sort of thing, but it can be so much fun to develop them further by doing that sort of exercise.

#ooc tag #i think that's part of why i keep trying to come back #also the lower stress aspect of no time constraints and no dice rolls here ha #but the development stuff is always a fun exercise for me #plus there's a wider diversity of characters i could write here 'cause they're not just all vampires in a modern setting #if i could find the right balance between platforms...

[apricotzel]

i do sometimes think it is silly and a bit ridiculous that people on different social media platforms will vehemently hate each other just for using a different platform. as if humanity doesn’t recreate itself wherever it goes

#teddie be quiet! #the people you complain abt on tiktok exist here they exist in twt they exist in real life they always have #they dont just like. exist in this box you put them in #only for you to poke at and complain about #humanity is diverse bro but plague doesnt choose which soil to sink in #blah blah blah nuance nuance nuance #ik there’s aspects of different platforms that cause preference or things to dislike or curation or whatever #dont take this post too seriously. live laugh leave me alone

A million times, THIS 👆🏾👆🏾👆🏾

#I am the first person to champion seeing Black characters on screen in a wide variety of different worlds and experiences #but I can’t get behind begging white creatives to give that to us #time and time and time and time again has shown that they cannot be trusted #that theyre not willing to do the work #that theyre not willing to change #if they do it’s temporary #all the diversity and inclusion hires that came out of the 2020 protests have been rolled back #Netflix laid off a bunch of their POC staff #creative and diverse shows are being cancelled left and right #on Netflix and platforms like HBO #support Black creatives making art that centers Black people #creating stories with nuance and dignity for their characters #anything else is for the birds
