Recently, the University of Florida announced the elimination of its Chief Diversity Officer and the entire office of program and support staff. The targeting of the likes of Dr. Marsha McGriff (former CDO at UF) is enabled by those who point to successful and educated Black women in positions of power as having “unfairly benefited” from affirmative action. Such erroneous claims would fall flat in the first instance if white folks took initiative in leading DEIJ change in their organizations.
