DeSantis can ask colleges for DEI and CRT spending data, judge rules

Governor Ron DeSantis can ask Florida public universities for information on their spending on critical race theory and “diversity, equity, and inclusion,” a federal judge ruled recently.

Judge Mark Walker, who previously blocked portions of the Stop WOKE Act, ruled on January 11 that Gov. DeSantis did not violate an injunction against the law when he asked universities for information on DEI and CRT spending.

“Although this court would not hesitate to compel compliance with its preliminary injunction, this court finds there has been no violation of the injunction at this time,” Judge Walker ruled, according to the Orlando Sentinel. The paper did not provide a copy of the ruling and The College Fix could not locate one.
