[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Florida state universities will likely lose 10-20,000 students as a result of this.[/quote]

FL Universities could lose accreditation as a result of this.  Women’s studies minor here (English major, so DCUM academic loser: using what I learned in my job as a lawyer.   But even if I was okay with gender studies disappearing (and it’s true, my kids likely will not take classes in that department), I wouldn’t send my kid to a college that could lose accreditation.   This is just turning FL State schools into Liberty U. [/quote]

You folks are quite a thing.

FL is thriving. FL universities are thriving.

DC is a mess. DC universities are...what?

But, sure, let's generate some more anti-FL conspiracy theories....[/quote]

FL Universities won’t be thriving if this passes. They will lose out of state bright kids, who can pay OOS tuition and go elsewhere. They will lose in state kids WH can afford to get out. And they will almost certainly lose accreditation. Heck— W&M is coming up for accreditation and the just dropped their German major because they could not bring it into compliance with SCHEV and we’re risking accreditation.  And before you snort— who needs a German major? W&M’s undergrad IR program is ranked 16th in the world by Foreign Affairs magazine. Its a huge feeder to law school, business school, the State Dept, National Security jobs (you know, “real” job areas). It’s an enormous major there and depending on how they track, IR/Global policy kids must take a language through the advanced level and are encouraged or required to get a major in a foreign language, which includes literature, history, economics, etc.   So, kids who want to work in Germany need it.

You would be very naive to laugh off loss of accreditation.

DC private colleges are great. DC does not have the students to support a real state flagship college.  Comparing one fairly poor medium sized US city to one if the largest states is apples and oranges. [/quote]
