Rick’s Blog Reports UWF Administrator FIRED after AIM Investigation

August 28, 2025

Sources have shared that Aurora Osborn, the University of West Florida’s Senior Director of the Office of Campus Culture and Access, has been fired. In May, Accuracy in Media, a politically conservative, non-profit media watchdog, targeted Osborn in a hidden camera video, claiming it caught the administrator bragging about evading Florida’s DEI ban. See transcript.

  • Background: SB 226 restricts diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs and related activities in state-funded higher education institutions. The bill prohibits universities from using state and federal funds for DEI programs, defines DEI and political/social activism broadly, and impacts curriculum and hiring practices. Pensacola State Rep. Alex Andrade filed the House version. Andrade watched the video and didn’t see any violations of the law.

AIM appealed to its readers: “If you believe radicals like this should not be involved in pushing their pro-DEI agenda, go to SaveWestFlorida.com to demand that the Board of Trustees of UWF remove these extremists and end DEI.”
