University of Florida officials massively downplayed the scale of their Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs in official filings to Ron DeSantis, one of the governor’s appointees has alleged to DailyMail.com.

Christopher Rufo, a DeSantis education hire, accused university bosses of ‘lying through their teeth to the governor’ by declaring they had some 30 DEI schemes costing $5million a year – when they were really running more than 1,000.

Rufo provided DailyMail.com with internal University of Florida files showing the breadth of DEI work on campus. University officials declined to comment on the allegations.

According to Rufo, university officials were understating their DEI initiatives to ‘conceal the radicalism inside the campus’ that DeSantis was trying to defund and shut down.
