Florida State University is renaming its DEI office the Office of Equal Opportunity Compliance and Engagement. I am sure that won’t pass muster in the ruby red halls of the state legislature, which is also in Tallahassee. Being so close, they’re bound to notice the game.

But before the Legislature brings down the hammer, I think FSU might be part way to a really good idea. Every university should have a state-funded and mandated Office of Equal Opportunity Compliance. 

Their job would be to root out the destructive race, gender and sexuality-based discrimination that the liberals who run universities, private and public alike, have salted their schools with over the decades when higher ed went from fighting for equality to embracing the DEI mantra of equal outcomes. 

Women-only scholarships? No. Black-only graduation ceremony? No. Race, gender and sexuality-based advisory groups? No. Quotas for diversifying the professorate? No. Segregated diversity training? Also no. LGBTQIA+-only spaces? Also, also no.
