“Many are giving up coveted tenured positions and blaming their departures on Governor DeSantis and his effort to reshape the higher education system to fit his conservative principles.”

Win/win/win. Why didn't Republicans think of this fifty years ago?

Some probably did but didn't have the courage to act. And today some RINO’s don't have the good sense to follow Gov. DeSantis’ lead.

with college authorities struggling to attract replacements, and the state’s academics look as far as Canada for new opportunities.

That's it, recruit from Canada!

Whoop, read that wrong...

Btw, how many college professors jobs could there be in Canada? 20? maybe 30?

I would take classes on Taylor Swift over the hate filled classes promoting feminism, leftism, and racism. Way less damage to American society.

The University of Florida said that its turnover rate is not unusual and remains well below the 10.57 percent national average. Hiring, it said, has also outpaced departures.

No conflicting information in this article!

Excellent! Get those filthy commies the eff OUT of my beloved alma mater. 1/4 is a good start. Let’s be honest though. Probably about 90% of them are hardcore Leftists. We need a massive purge of the faculty just like practically every other university in the US.

Students who want to actually learn something are going the other direction.

Take him on a snipe hunt, yeah that’s the ticket.
Hell, I’ll come up from Florida for that one.

Should be good news for Florida. Presumably, the resulting vacancies can be filled with competent traditional-minded or conservative replacements. The chances for a decent education in Florida appear to be rising.

There are only so many jobs in academia in a state. It’s going to get tough out there since tenure will lock out new applicants for quite a while. DeSantis and the legislature reformed tenure in Florida by requiring that new tenured professors have to undergo a review every 5 years in order to keep their status.

To clarify, I mean tenure in the liberal states will force Florida’s fleeing academics to have to wait elsewhere.

Hope they end up in the unemployment lines...in some country other than the USA. Our only hope of survival is to force march all liberals/libertarians/marxists/demoRATs to Kanada (or, messyco, whichever is closest).

It really doesn’t matter how many academics leave. There’s an enormous glut of professors and has been for close to half a century.

Being a professor at the University of Florida is a plum position and they can recruit worldwide.

I have met post doctoral researchers who are in their 50’s. One died of old age.

Yes in the North West Territories Great slave lake would be a nice spot for them.
