In our very first episode of “STAAR This”, we interview the Chief Diversity Officer at the University of Florida, Antonio Farias. In June 2020, in response to great social unrest and a need for justice, the university released a list of initiatives it is committed to pursuing. These initiatives center around education, representation, and history. In the interview with Mr. Farias, we ask for details regarding what change the UF community can expect regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion.
