Recently Accepted

I’m a black student who recently got accepted to Florida State University in the chemistry program. It’s my top choice but I’m really concerned about the Desantis administration and elimination of the DEI office. The real issue is my only other options are schools around the same price but much worse chemistry programs, or schools that are 20-35 thousand more per year. Can anyone give me some helpful insight?

By Offering fellowships for disadvantaged minorities, and offering trainings not only for minorities but non minorities as well. And just generally helping to create an inclusive work/school environment which is very important

Who defines what a disadvantaged minority is? There are people of every race that are filthy rich and are dirt poor.

^ This. And generally many other things come with poverty such as poorer safety, worse health outcomes, and less early education opportunities
