World have been abolished, District Administrator Glenton Gilzean announced today. The board of the area of Orlando formerly called the Reedy Creek Improvement District said the move will end “hiring and contracting programs that discriminated against Americans based on gender and race, costing taxpayers millions of dollars.”
It said the announcement comes after an internal investigation into the district’s policies. “The district’s DEI committee will be dissolved and any DEI job duties will be eliminated,” according to a statement. Employees of the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District “will also no longer be permitted to use any staff time to pursue DEI initiatives.”
