He also asked them to indicate the proportion of taxpayer funds used. He also said that \u201cDEI bureaucracies\u201d These are \u201chostile to academic freedom\u201d  \u201cconstitute a drain on resources.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Consultants and university officials often reap substantial financial returns by promoting the DEI movement in postsecondary institutions.

Christopher Rufo, a Manhattan Institute fellow and activist, was among the appointed officials. Matthew Spalding is a Hillsdale College constitutional government professor.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis highlighted the importance of creating curricula that reflect the philosophy and values of Western civilization. He also mentioned the need to provide training courses in Florida for nurses, truck drivers, and other jobs with a shortage in the state or national economies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou see the growth of administrative bloat around the country with higher education, and it dwarfs what they are spending on people who actually teach our students. \u2026 They are not really improving the academic performance,\u201d He said so. \u201cThey are expanding bureaucrats and administrative staff and trying to impose an agenda through that way. That is a failed model, and we want to make sure that\u2019s not what\u2019s happening here in the state of Florida.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis has also sounded the alarm over the College Board\u2019s forthcoming AP African American Studies curriculum.
