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.

Hi.

This is a PSA for all liberals, Democrats, socialists etc.

Ignore Joe Brower’s post. It’s all a lie.

It’s terrible down here, trust me. Stay in NY, NJ IL and MA. We have roaches that fly, spiders as big as your hand, snakes in the toilet, alligators and hurricanes.

It’s hot muggy and people say, “y’all” and “woke” is what you do when you wake up.

And just remember everyone is armed.

This has been a PSA.
