Without ecology professors, FL stands to lose a LOT of their natural resource management expertise, which in turn fuels tourism to see and experience Florida's vast array of ecological wonders. You sound ignorant.

Professors aren't involved in natural resource management. States and municipalities handle that, and when they need outside expertise, they hire consultants.

And where does the research that these consultants rely on come from exactly?

Professors teach and research resource management, flood prevention, stormwater management, and every other environmental challenge in Florida. Experts don’t grow on trees.

What Florida is doing is to impose radical right wing indoctrination and a suppression of anything including bonafide science that goes against the far right narrative.

What "bonafide science" are they suppressing? Be specific.

Study of climate, for one.

Well, insurance companies sure are fleeing Florida before hurricane season.

The interim President at New College of Florida is crying that professors left when that’s exactly what DeSantis told them to do.

Everything will be just fine. Good that bad professors are getting out. Florida doesn’t want them. Plenty of others keep coming!

AECOM, Bain and Co, etc. They aren't asking local professors to do it.

While true, you haven't made a case that Florida is endangering the supply of environmental science majors in the US. Even if Florida were forced to shut down all its environmental science university programs, they could contract out to environmental consulting firms to get the expertise from people who went to programs elsewhere in the country.

The good professors are leaving to be replaced by unimaginative dipshits. The degree won’t mean much without the top professors and the top students.

Shoveling propaganda isn’t education. They need to leave Florida ASAP.

That’s not what the hiring officials at these universities are saying upthread. It looks like a lot of temporary gap-filled positions are occurring this academic year. I wonder if they will have to resort to the same level of professionals used for their K-12 schools in Florida. Remember to become a public school teacher in Florida now, all you need is be a veteran of the US armed forces. No college or educational skills required. They just want you to fill a spot and teach by state sponsored PowerPoint.
