Feminist Literature and Gender Studies departments hardest hit....
You mean like “educators” not getting away with being functionally illiterate?
In 2017, the state of New York passed a law requiring prospective school teachers to take a literacy test to get their license, but repealed it the following year because 36 percent of whites, 54 percent of Hispanics and 59 percent of blacks failed on the first try.

This reminds me of the cover story of my Alma Mater’s laughable alumni magazine: “Who Will Train Tomorrow’s Theater Critics?”
“””””I was worried that the ability to teach things I cared about like environmental or social justice would become increasingly hard or even discouraged.””””””
We pay for that?
I have a better idea for you asshat “professors” , how about a one way ticket to the 3rd world craphole that you think is superior to the USA.
Leaving after all of the damage you’ve done to our young people with brainwashing? You will not get away in the long term. This stuff has to be completely stomped out.
They can’t leave soon enough. There are great jobs awaiting them elsewhere, though. For instance, they could butcher pet ostriches in Canada. That’s a booming field.
Bye!
RE: Of those interviewed in the survey, roughly a quarter of respondents said they applied for a job in higher education in another state since the start of 2023.
Did the article tell us which universities in which states they are applying to?
Environmental humanities? Oh no. What will we do with a professor in environmental humanities. What the hell is environmental humanities anyway?
Colleges are job programs for useless people.
There are so many things wrong with college professors, I can’t help but think if they are leaving, it’s a good thing.
Why dont they ever leave to a socialist paradise somewhere else...
basically, the freakshow on college campuses is finding more pushback on their commie indoctrination in the red states so they’re looking to move back to a blue state
fine by me
Having seen what leftist indoctrination factories many universities had become, several Southern states woke up and realized they were going to have to exercise direct oversight to prevent that from happening to their universities. So that’s exactly what they did. Naturally the Leftist evangelists and propagandists in those universities aren’t happy about it. Some have left. Good riddance to them.
And people say there’s no good news.
I think that many of those majors were created specifically as a way to get those who are not college material into college.
I saw a recent survey that showed that only 30-something % of people think that college is worthwhile. That’s down from 70-something % back in 2010. I guess people have seen too many “studies” majors take on huge debt without learning any employable skills.
“About 25% of the professors in Texas who responded said they have applied for teaching roles in other states in the last two years, with another 25% saying they intend to start a search.”
Sounds a lot like self-deporting Mexicans. The Mexicans and the Professors both know the jig is up and they better get out of Dodge while the getting is good.
Will ANYBODY miss those useless, deadweight “Professors”?
What can we do to drive this number higher?
Many professors in the US south, particularly in Florida, South Carolina and Texas, are considering leaving their state because of the impact the political climate is having on education, according to a new survey by the American Association of Professors.

Most of these “professors” are not needed anyway. STEM professors will never miss a beat!
And don’t let the door hit you all, bye.
