Pro-woke professors leave Florida universities in protest
Campus Reform ^ | 7 Aug 2023 | John Gigolizzo

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.

You said a mouthful. Especially full professors don’t have to work hard, get a boatload of money, have their butts kissed constantly, and get to satisfy their smug self-righteousness affirmed by poisoning young
Minds

They're not professors. They are Communist indoctrinators. Good riddance.

Moreover, Unis all over America have similar concerns which will result in fewer teachers, fewer classes, fewer students. A Trifecta !

Remove student loans and the outsized influence of higher education elites is over, done, fine´.

The government leadership in Florida has listened to the citizen majority and has made the Sunshine State a place 'where woke goes to die'. They said it, and they meant it. These bad actors can go somewhere where they are welcome. That's not here.
