New Disney Board Eliminates Diversity, Equity, And Inclusion Programs

Since the district's 1967 creation, Disney had enjoyed a unique self-governing status, putting it outside Florida county or city governments.

"Today, District Administrator Glenton Gilzean announced the abolition of all DEI programs at the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District," the district said in a public statement on Aug. 1.

"The announcement comes after the Reedy Creek Improvement District implemented hiring and contracting programs that discriminated against Americans based on gender and race, costing taxpayers millions of dollars."The announcement comes after an internal investigation into the district's policies," according to the statement.

" The Reedy Creek district instituted gender and racial quotas "to ensure that contractors met a certain threshold of diversity," the new district said in the statement.

" The new district further alleged in the statement that Reedy Creek employees, after entering a contract, "aggressively monitored [the] contractor's racial and gender practices, wasting taxpayer dollars.

Disney World isn't the only business within the district.

More than 200 third-party companies operate on Disney World property, and the district also includes luxury homes in the Golden Oaks neighborhood.
