University of North Florida students are speaking out against the governor’s ban on DEI programs on campus. That’s diversity equity and inclusion.
Last month, dozens of students took part in a fiery town hall meeting where they directly challenged UNF President Moez Limayem on the issue.
The tense exchange came just as a new campus survey finds the majority of UNF students support the very kind of programs Gov. Ron DeSantis is seeking to stamp out on Florida campuses.
Guest:
- Alivia Kalin, UNF senior.
- Austin Rolette, recent UNF graduate.
Student loans
The Supreme Court right now is considering whether to approve President Biden’s sweeping federal student loan forgiveness plan. Biden wants to cancel up to $20,000 dollars in debt for tens of millions of Americans.
At the same time, the Biden administration has released new guidance on filing for bankruptcy as a way to deal with student loan debt.
Guest: Chip Parker, attorney with Parker and DuFresne.
