The Florida Federation disbanded UF's College Republicans chapter following an alleged antisemitic salute; legal actions and political responses are underway.
- The University of Florida confirmed the Florida Federation of College Republicans disbanded the UF College Republicans chapter amid antisemitism controversy.

- The university said it has emphatically supported its Jewish community and is committed to preventing antisemitism, with Sen. Rick Scott backing the disbanding and gratitude for UF's quick action.
- Former state legislator Anthony Sabatini announced he will file a First Amendment lawsuit Monday alleging viewpoint discrimination and seeking an injunction against UF.
