"The university is a place of free inquiry. It is not an instrument of the state's political agenda. When you start to interfere with that, you are destroying the very essence of what a university is supposed to be." - Bob Graham | Florida Governor (1979–1987) and U.S. Senator (1987–2005)




.@EDSecMcMahon is correct. DEI is discriminatory by design, antithetical to the purpose of a university, and incompatible with the pursuit of truth. The University of Florida has already acted on that conviction. In December 2025, our Board of Trustees adopted institutional neutrality and embedded an anti-DEI mandate within the presidential contract itself, ensuring that no university funds, public or private, will underwrite DEI at this institution. Dr. Stuart Bell stands with Secretary McMahon, the Board, and the people of Florida on this. He is ready to lead UF forward as a university defined by merit, rigor, and the pursuit of truth.
