Adam Gillette from Accuracy Media confronts Tamara Nowitzky about DEI work at the university, alleging that the department was still engaging in DEI in defiance of state law and that only wording had been changed. Gillette asks if this is true. Nowitzky repeatedly responds, I can't comment, to questions about compliance with the law and whether the department has subverted it by altering language. Gillette presses further, presenting a video in which Nowitzky allegedly said she had to change the words because people are dumb. He asks if she said that, and whether the department is complying with the law or subverting it by changing words. Nowitzky again declines to comment, saying, I can't comment, and does not provide direct answers to whether there were thoughts or criticisms about taxpayers who oppose funding DEI, potential loss of state or federal funds, or a message to legislators who passed a law banning DEI at universities. Gillette notes that Nowitzky had commented extensively in the video, and asks for clarification about whether she misspoke or if the statements are accurate. Nowitzky responds with fragmented phrases: “I can't come,” followed by partial words from Gillette’s prompt, and then, “Most of your progressive. Of your faculty faculty,” seemingly offering insufficient, disconnected remarks. Gillette continues to seek any thoughts on whether a predominantly progressive faculty fosters a welcoming environment for students who don’t share those values, but Nowitzky again says, I can't comment. Gillette indicates that investigators spoke with several staffers and found that the psychology department and other departments had changed wording but were continuing the same DEI work. He asks Nowitzky for comments on these findings. Nowitzky states that the university is “fully compliant with House Bill four and all federal laws and policies and procedures with respect to that issue.” He acknowledges this while also noting concerns raised by Tamara Nowitzky in the psychology department about the claim that they “just changed the words because people are dumb.” In closing, Gillette mentions the recorded comments and complaints alleging that the university continued DEI work in defiance of state law, despite the purported word changes. The exchange ends with Nowitzky reiterating the university’s position of compliance and presenting the conflicting claim from a department member about altering wording, rather than altering the underlying DEI work.

Dr. Rick Adante, a neuroscientist, blew the whistle on Florida Tech's president for allegedly defrauding the state and federal government to maintain DEI stipulations, despite the governor's orders. Adante secretly recorded a meeting where the president discussed circumventing DEI restrictions by changing language, not actions, to secure a $7 million grant. Adante was offered $96,000 to stay silent and not sue, but refused, citing his conscience and integrity. He was subsequently fired and is now mowing lawns to make money. The university sent a cease and desist letter to O'Keefe Media Group to prevent the story's publication. The president emailed the university community, attacking the whistleblower and misrepresenting the situation. Adante says the president was trying to recruit others to participate in a conspiracy to defraud. He highlights the importance of truth and integrity, drawing inspiration from Simon of Cyrene and Alexander Solzhenitsyn's "Live Not by Lies." Adante emphasizes the need to feed children's souls with truth, even at personal cost, and is currently seeking support through a Give, Send, Go campaign to cover legal and medical expenses.

James O'Keefe reports on James Welch, an NIH genetic counselor, who appears to be manipulating language in research applications to circumvent government oversight, specifically from "Doge." Welch is allegedly advising researchers to replace terms like "women," "men," and "race" with alternatives like "adult girl," "XX," and "ancestry" to avoid grant cuts based on banned keywords. Welch claims that intramural research at NIH can "basically do anything" if they have the money. According to O'Keefe, an administration official stated there's no specific policy regarding racial preferences in health, suggesting Welch is creating an algorithm in his own mind. O'Keefe alleges this circumvents the will of President Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Welch expresses disdain for RFK Jr. and suggests replacing Trump's portrait with Putin's. He also mentions potential NIH job cuts and jokes about buying guns, stating, "they won't let me close enough to these people." O'Keefe calls for transparency and accountability within government institutions.

O'Keefe Media Group reported on a secretly recorded meeting with Florida Institute of Technology's president, John Niklow, alleging he changed wording to circumvent a presidential executive order and retain funding. The report claims Niklow discussed obtaining $7 million in funding after a meeting with a high-ranking Florida official, purportedly Ron DeSantis, and tweaked language to avoid being perceived as "woke." The report suggests Niklow went against an initial agreement to fight back with the $7 million. Niklow stated that changing some words allows the university to continue its work. The report also includes audio of a professor requesting an exemption to change course catalog information related to DEI. Niklow allegedly said the government isn't smart enough to find DEI courses, and advised being mindful of how courses are taught. O'Keefe Media Group was asked to leave the premises and threatened with legal action. The report concludes with advertisements for Fisher Capital and The Wellness Company.

The discussion centers on a video in which Speaker 1 acknowledges, "We can't directly fund DEI programming. So we have been looking for loopholes." He confirms, "That is me." He adds, "Part of this position would be working with some of that. We have some funds through our PBI grant that we would like to dedicate to that." He also says, "we do still have a chief diversity officer currently they're flexing out of that role because we have to for state purposes. If we want to continue to have state funding we had to discontinue the law DEIP." The other participant notes, "Just it going go like Florida when you're not having to completely go away it's just that you can't use state funds." They discuss payroll funds: "Part of that would be payroll funds." "Payroll funds are funds that are used to pay people. They come from the state, do they not?" "Most of them do. Yes." "Well, then they are state funds being used for DE."

The speaker questions whether the board of regents would be bothered to learn that university staff are allegedly circumventing the university's claim of eliminating DEI by continuing to promote it under different names.

Byron Thedford? That's me. Oh, we received a report that you were pushing DEI in defiance of the state law and seeking loopholes to get around the law. Is that true? It's not. No, sir. You've never talked about pushing loopholes to get around the law? I haven't. No. What about this video?

"We can't directly fund DEI programming, we have been looking for loopholes." "It's not. No," "So we have been looking for loopholes." "we have some funds through our PBI grant that we would like to dedicate to that." "we had to discontinue the law DEIP." "Like with Florida when you're not having to completely go away it's just that you can't use state funds." "Part of that would be payroll funds." "They come from the state. Do they not?" "Most of them do. Yes." "It's a marketing thing essentially." "It's just 90% of it from a communication standpoint you understand that." "Ours is already being funded through our PBI grant, which is a federally funded initiative." "We will catch you."

The speaker, James O'Keefe, attended a school board meeting in New Jersey to discuss an equity audit. However, the board did not allow recording of the meeting, which O'Keefe violated. The board called the police on him while he was speaking. O'Keefe revealed a hidden camera device and stated that he intended to distribute similar devices to promote transparency. The board found this unusual. O'Keefe questioned the police officer about being called to the meeting, and the officer confirmed that his supervisor instructed him to come because O'Keefe was speaking as a journalist.

O'Keefe Media Group reported on a secretly recorded meeting with the president of Florida Institute of Technology, John Niklow, concerning DEI and funding. Niklow allegedly changed wording to circumvent a presidential executive order and retain funding. Niklow reportedly obtained $7,000,000 in funding after a meeting with a state official, where he tweaked language related to climate change. The university president allegedly went against the deal made in that meeting. Niklow stated that changing words allows them to continue their work and avoid being targeted. Another professor, Julia Constopoulos, discussed renaming courses with Niklow. Niklow advised modifying branding or finding new funding sources. He also stated that the government isn't smart and is just searching the web for DEI courses. O'Keefe Media Group was asked to leave the premises and told to remain on the sidewalk. A cease and desist letter was sent to O'Keefe Media Group.

O'Keefe then promoted Fisher Capital as a gold investment partner and The Wellness Company's field emergency kit.

Dr. Rick Adante, a neuroscientist formerly tenured at Florida Tech, was fired after exposing alleged fraud and cover-up by the university president, Nick Lau, regarding DEI. Adante refused a $96,000 severance agreement that required his silence. He was inspired by Simon of Cyrene to tell the truth, even at great personal cost. A video recording revealed Lau discussing ways to circumvent DEI restrictions to receive a $7 million grant, without putting anything in writing. Adante claims Lau sought to recruit others in a conspiracy to defraud. After the story broke, Florida Tech sent a cease and desist letter and claimed the video misrepresented Lau's comments. Adante says the president lied about the meeting being private. Adante witnessed Title IX being weaponized against free speech on campus. He says the president wanted to continue DEI activities while staying "under the radar." Adante, now mowing lawns to make ends meet, emphasizes the importance of truth and integrity, inspired by Solzhenitsyn's "Live Not By Lies." He says his wife fully supports his decision. He has a GiveSendGo page to help with expenses.

James O’Keefe and crew from Project Veritas visit Georgetown University in Washington, DC, aiming to report on an adjunct professor named Jonathan Franklin who teaches a journalism course called “sourcing and interview tech” at Georgetown. In undercover footage, Franklin is recorded discussing black conservatives such as Lawrence Jones at Fox and Candace Owens, and using racial epithets, including calling them “coons.” Specifically, he is heard saying regarding black conservatives: “home to two” and labeling Clarence Thomas as “the biggest coon of them all.” The reporters ask for Franklin’s comment and discuss how the university should respond to the video. In the field, the team asks passersby what they think about the use of the term “coons” and whether Georgetown should respond. A respondent expresses that the remark is “interesting for Georgetown,” and others indicate they wouldn’t use that term and question whether it represents Georgetown. The crew indicates they intend to reach out to Georgetown’s Dean’s Office and the communications/public affairs offices to obtain a comment from the university about how to handle professors who behave this way. They also plan to contact Candace Owens, Lawrence Jones at Fox News, and Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas for comment. Staff in the Dean’s Office provide guidance on who to contact, directing the team to Georgetown’s media relations office (media@Georgetown.edu). They indicate there is no physical media office on site. The team continues to chase comments and attempts to locate the appropriate spokesperson. The crew moves to the President’s Office, where an employee reiterates to contact the media relations office for official comment. A member of the team attempts to obtain the best contact for comment, and staff explain that the media relations office does not have a physical on-site office. The team is told to reach out to media relations, emphasizing that the university’s response would come from that office. The footage then shows the team at the graduate building at 111 Massachusetts Avenue NW, where Franklin teaches a graduate-level course on “sourcing and interview technology.” The segment frames Georgetown’s Downtown DC satellite campus as the site of this teaching, noting the class will explore how to find sources and how to interview them effectively. The video closes with James O’Keefe introducing himself as the founder of Project Veritas and OMG Media, and referring to ongoing investigative reporting to hold elites accountable. Note: The promotional financial-ad content present in the latter portion of the transcript has been omitted per guidelines.

Dr. Rick Adante, a neuroscientist formerly tenured at Florida Tech, exposed university president Nick Lau for allegedly conspiring to circumvent DEI restrictions to secure state and federal grant money. Adante refused a $96,000 severance offer that required silence and was subsequently fired. He was inspired by Simon of Cyrene to tell the truth, despite the personal cost. Adante provided a video recording of President Lau discussing strategies to appear compliant with DEI mandates while continuing prohibited activities. Lau allegedly aimed to "fight back" against DEI restrictions while avoiding public acknowledgment. According to Adante, the president's actions potentially constituted a $69 million fraud related to Title IV funding. Adante claims DEI has been weaponized, citing instances where faculty were told what words they could and could not use. He now mows lawns to support his family, including a wife with one kidney and a special needs baby, and has a GiveSendGo page to raise money for legal and medical expenses. Despite hardship, Adante maintains integrity and encourages others to live not by lies.

Adam Killeb from Accuracy and Media states he received a report that the staff is pushing DEI despite the board of trustees ban. He then addresses someone as Janique Sanders.

James O'Keefe confronts an NIH employee about a video where he allegedly discusses changing the word "race" to "ancestry." O'Keefe questions if this is deceitful and suggests ancestry isn't the same as race for clinical trials. The employee defends the change as scientifically accurate, claiming expertise. O'Keefe disputes this, accusing him of avoiding accountability. The employee states he believes in good science and protecting people. As the employee drives away in his Tesla, he claims O'Keefe doesn't care about people. O'Keefe finds this ironic and asserts his organization cares deeply about informing the public.

James O'Keefe confronts an NIH employee about a video where the employee discusses changing the word "race" to "ancestry" in a protocol. O'Keefe questions if this is deceitful and suggests ancestry isn't the same as race for medical trials. The employee denies lying and claims the change was for scientific accuracy, stating he is an expert. O'Keefe questions why he would change the words and accuses him of avoiding accountability. The employee drives away in his Tesla, claiming O'Keefe doesn't care about people. O'Keefe says he cares about people knowing what's going on in their government. He describes running after the employee in boat shoes, calling it an adventure.

Neuroscientist Rick Adante claims he was terminated from Florida Institute of Technology after refusing to stay silent about the president's plan to circumvent DEI restrictions to secure a $7 million grant. Adante alleges the president intended to defraud Florida citizens by appearing to comply with DEI stipulations while secretly undermining them. He says the president's email attacking the whistleblower confirmed his dishonesty. Adante was offered $96,000 to resign and remain silent, but he refused, citing his conscience and integrity. Despite now mowing lawns to make ends meet, Adante says he doesn't regret his decision. He emphasizes the importance of speaking the truth, even when facing adversity. He finds strength in faith, family, purpose, and a supportive network. A GiveSendGo campaign has been set up to support Adante.

Adam Gillette of Accuracy and Media confronted Melissa Newhouse about a report that her department was “explaining how you do DEI and defiance of state law.” Newhouse denied knowledge of that claim, noting their offices were closed when approached by the investigator. In the video that Gillette referenced, Newhouse was shown or described as saying that the buildings “now have to allow the whites and the privileged people.” Newhouse responded that this was not true. She explained that, due to the law, signs and centers that previously targeted one group were changed to be “common” rather than center-specific. She stated that “the whites are there … to help effort” and clarified that the change does not affect their curriculum. During the conversation, another speaker (Speaker 2) confirmed that the class content would still cover topics such as DEI and intersectionality, and that students would continue to learn DEI as part of the curriculum if that is what the class is about. Newhouse was asked if the video showed her voice, and she questioned whether the voice might be AI-generated. She later said, “No. I didn’t,” in response to whether the person in the video was her. Newhouse described changes to the center’s name—from Multicultural Center to Common Center—and claimed the purpose was to ensure “American white people” were represented too. She emphasized that the concept is for students to feel they belong, stating, “Belonging is very important.” She highlighted the leadership team’s diversity and noted ongoing efforts in equity, access, and education, including grants for equity. She claimed these initiatives were funded by corporate money (Apple) and had not been cut, though described as quieter and less university-sponsored. Adam Gillette pressed on whether the department was continuing DEI in defiance of state law and pressed for further clarity about the signs, centers, and curriculum. Newhouse denied that the video showed her saying that whites must be allowed; she insisted the claim was not true and suggested the visuals were AI. She reiterated that the department was still pursuing equity initiatives, with ongoing funding from corporate sources. Toward the end, Gillette stated the interview and Newhouse’s denial left an impression of a disconnect between the video and her stated position, highlighting that Newhouse had initially denied the video but then claimed the voice could be AI, leading to broader questions about authenticity.

O'Keefe Media Group reported on a secretly recorded meeting with the president of Florida Institute of Technology, John Niklow, concerning DEI and funding. Niklow allegedly changed wording to circumvent a presidential executive order and retain funding. Niklow reportedly obtained $7,000,000 in funding after a meeting with a state official, where he tweaked language related to climate change. The university president allegedly went against the deal after the meeting, deciding to fight back with the $7,000,000. Another professor asked Niklau if certain courses would be barred, to which Niklau responded that the government isn't smart and is just searching the web for DEI courses. The president said he would support getting an exemption to change the course catalog. O'Keefe Media Group was asked to leave the premises and told they could be on the sidewalk. A cease and desist letter was sent to O'Keefe Media Group.

A leaked phone call reveals that Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) integrates DEI into sociology courses, despite President Trump's order to stop teaching DEI in federally funded schools. According to the call, adjunct professor Jean Martin states DEI is integrated into SNHU courses and that federal policies have no impact on them. The sociology courses examine current social problems, including "why white school districts have so much more money." Martin also stated that an executive order written by President Trump is unconstitutional and illegal. The Department of Education is investigating over 50 college institutions for racial preferences and stereotypes in education programs. O’Keefe Media Group is soliciting evidence of corruption, graft, waste, or fraud within government institutions.

A Florida-based discussion centers on Barry University allegedly suspending a student amid a campus controversy connected to Project Veritas. The public-facing details describe the suspension as the student not being allowed on campus or in class. An apparent suspension letter states the university’s reason: the student “created a hostile environment here” on campus. Project Veritas has posted an undercover video on its site that it says sparked a firestorm of negative publicity for Barry University. The organization, led by president James O’Keefe, asserts the school is sympathetic to the extremist group ISIS, and argues that a secretly recorded video taken by a student proves this. Senior Laura Loomer partnered with Project Veritas in this case, and Project Veritas claims it aims to expose corruption by attempting to reveal information about nonprofits and corporations; in this instance, Barry University. In the video, which NBC Six notes it is choosing not to air, Loomer pretends to want to start a club that supports and aids ISIS. The individual who signed the documentation to start the ISIS-themed club—the adviser—allegedly indicated in general terms that the university doesn’t try to limit clubs. Project Veritas uses this to attack the university, accusing it of being terrorist-sympathetic. Campus officials respond by stating it is reprehensible to think any organization would acquire video and edit it in such a way as to denigrate the reputation of Barry University or its staff. They say the interpretation of the video is not representative of the school. Project Veritas is asserting that the suspension is a personal attack on an honor student because the university could not defend its staff members. Administrators, however, say the allegations of anti-ISIS sentiment are absurd. The university notes it cannot confirm the suspension at this time because doing so would violate student privacy laws. For Life Night in Miami Shores, Jamie Garola (or Grilla) of NBC6, Florida, reports on the developing situation.

Upon returning from family leave, the speaker was surprised by the overt political environment at the university, particularly regarding DEI. Professors were upset that the university president wouldn't publicly support DEI efforts due to fear of losing funding, despite encouraging them privately. The speaker notes the psychology group was the most involved in DEI-related activities, including teaching critical race theory. The speaker believes DEI is used as a weapon, particularly through Title IX, to control thoughts and words. They cite instances where addressing a class as "you guys" or "ladies" was considered inappropriate or even sexual harassment. The speaker concludes that DEI is not about diversity, equity, or inclusion, but rather a tool for thought and speech control.

Visually, what you see is that it's gone, but really nothing. Nothing really changed. Alison Bergner explains that due to bills passed in Alabama, we're not able to hire DEI staff anymore that have that title. “each college, we've got college of education, college of business, college of nursing Mhmm.” “So, technically, we are not DEI.” UNA has done a good job at, like, still keeping the resources, and some sister universities like UAH, like, even if their DEI office was a person of one, “they didn't get fired. They just got moved.” We just have had to found trickier, more niche ways to do that, and we're still serving the same students. “Not called the same thing.” The bill is “three pages long. It is super, super vague.” They pass bills that are vague “to placate their voters.” The provost was unable to meet, but she took our information and said she'd get back with us. We never heard from anyone. If you wanna take action, click in the link where you can send one message that goes directly to all of the relevant officials.
