[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ONE governor is standing up to the Leftist drivel many professors spew, & you people are acting like the sky is falling. You know your view are fragile & will be exposed as ridiculous if students are exposed to opposing ideas. [/quote]

The “leftist drivel” is academic freedom.  It affects all types of folk, including STEM research profs.  UF had done such a great job in attracting STEM talent and upping their research capabilities.  That is all being threatened right now.  [/quote]

If “academic freedom” results in an intolerant intellectual monoculture, then we need less of it not more. STEM is being negatively affected by the encroachment of woke garbage not by the efforts to keep it in check.[/quote]

You do not know what you are talking about.  Most STEM professors in this country come from elite grad schools.  Florida has been doing an amazing job recruiting them to Florida.  Many of these profs are now looking to jump and take their lab with them.  I know several who are looking.  You may not see it yet but UF research will take a hit until they stabilize.  I really hope DeSantis backs off and maintains the independence of the Board of Regents.  [/quote]

Yup.  That’s also what I’ve heard.  It’s such an incredible shame.  I don’t think it’s too late to recover but a few more years like this will really set them back.   When the STEM folks are fleeing because of politics you know it’s bad.[/quote]
