University professors in Florida are leaving in droves, and blaming the state’s fight against woke policies.
The Tampa Bay Times reported on a July meeting of the Florida Board of Governors. During the meeting, a number of professors expressed concern about the political climate in Florida. Professors and administrators said they were having difficulty hiring and retaining new teachers, in part because of Florida lawmakers dismantling CRT, DEI, and other planks of the leftist agenda from higher education.
Florida State University music professor Matthew Lata, told the Florida Board of Governors that new hires have rejected offers “because of the perceived anti-higher education atmosphere in the state.”
“More and more often we are hearing ‘Florida? Not Florida. Not now. Not yet,’” he reportedly said.
One employee at University of Florida reportedly said that a half dozen candidates who toured the campus “expressed mixed feelings about moving to Florida in the current political climate.” A candidate who applied to the philosophy department at the University of South Florida reportedly took a job at a lower-ranked school in another state over political concerns.

Who knew it was so easy ?

Yep, I’m trying to understand the downside of this.
Good. Leave, and stay gone.
Awesome!- the stink is leaving florida!
“So long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Good Night!

This strategy should be deployed in all sane state.
Average IQ of staff went up 20%
Outstanding!
That was the goal.
That’s the fastest way to improve education.
Are the positions going unfilled? No? Than WTF are you whining about? That your loser buddies get geklempt when a state tells them that there are only two sexes and you don’t get to pick? Shut up and go do a lesson plan, idiot.
Are the positions going unfilled? Yes? OK - Raise the salary without adjusting the environment.
Continue until you have sane people lecturing to young adults that are still in mindless knowledge absorption mode.
They sure twisted that headline around to make it seem like a bad thing.
I cared not much about this until I saw it upset a male music professor. Now I’m happy and thankful.
Briar patch!
Strange how the article didn't explore that side of the issue, LOL
It just gets better and better.
And this sounds to me like a very good thing.
More, please!
