I’m sure republicans love that since it is their goal to replace them.

There has never been a project in my life that I walked away from that I regretted later doing that.

Here is the delusion: you stick it out, you triumph when you should have failed, you made a difference, and people love you for it.

Here is what really happens: you stick it out until you are broken/fired, you got some wins and took some Ls, you didn't make a difference because the disaster is bigger than you are, and everyone blames you for not being good enough.

Don't mix your success with their failure. Don't be a hero to people who don't want to be rescued. If Florida is making your job hard to do the best thing you can do is head north.

the brain drain is real. the 'red' states are getting dumber and dumber, and as a result, 'redder' and 'redder'.

My brother went to New College. It was a great alternative school where people like my brother, who did not do well in conventional public school, were able to thrive. DeSantis destroyed that. It's criminal.

Good for them. Everyone should bail on that piece of shit. Show future pieces of shit that pieces of shit won’t be tolerated.

The Red State Brain Drain continues. Professors leaving Florida. OB/GYN doctors leaving Texas.

Why would you want to work in a place that criminalizes your job?

with the educators attracted to the research opportunities, student bodies, and the warm weather.

Possibly could have phrased that better, but OK.

Maybe I'm wrong but this isn't good for anyone. Brain drain on the south only bolsters the southern strategy and will hand over the electoral college to the uninformed

The article keeps saying "conservative" when the correct descriptors would be "fascist", "bigoted" and "anti-education".

the ~~conservative~~ fascist administration of Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis

worked to put a[n] ~~conservative~~ anti-education imprint on [the] state

with a largely compliant GOP-controlled legislature, he's imposed ~~conservative~~ bigoted education reforms across the state.

The only University staff that most people care about is whoever is coaching the Gators or the Seminoles.

I get why they're doing it,
But what exactly do they think is going to happen when those highly coveted positions get filled by people complacent or supportive of DeSantis' agenda?

The silver-lining in Florida becoming solid red is that maybe - just maybe - we see an end to the Cuba embargo. But democrats will loose a critical Florida voting block! And? Like having the anti-Cubans on our side will help us take Florida anymore.

Good old Florida. Who needs fancy-pants professors when you've got a gater on a leash?
