Gainesville commissioners to weigh renaming equity office amid state DEI ban
Gainesville city commissioners are scheduled Thursday to consider renaming the Office of Equity and Inclusion to the Equal Opportunity Office, a move the station describes as either compliance with or a workaround of Florida’s new law prohibiting DEI programs in local government. Separately this week, Gator football opens fall practice Wednesday under new head coach Jon Sumrall ahead of a September 5 season opener, and the former Newberry Public Elementary School — now converted to a charter school — holds a meet-the-teacher day Thursday.
