Universities across the country have faced scrutiny for continuing to push Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion curriculum despite the Trump administration’s crackdown on the practice, including in Florida where Fox News Digital first reported that Dr. Haywood Brown, associate vice president of Academic Affairs at the University of South Florida, touted in an unearthed recording how he has been avoiding DEI laws in Florida while attacking state and federal officials, including top White House official Stephen Miller.
Brown resigned shortly after Fox News Digital’s reporting after pressure from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis who said in a statement, “our office has immediately ensured his relationship with our university system has ended.”
