[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder why U Florida is doing so well in the rankings then?  Someone must want to teach there.[/quote]

Florida was doing so well (in attracting top tier STEM profs). They went on a massive hiring spree.  They started some excellent programs.  Their rankings went up. The results of the new  laws will take some time to show up.  Maybe there’ll be no effect. But I doubt it. [/quote]

It is very difficult to get jobs at UF that are not OPS (temporary) jobs.  OPS workers try really hard to become permanent workers, i.e. tenured professors.  You really have to know someone to get hired at UF.  I was rejected because I did not have an Ivy degree. I was told that. I know professors at UF and don't see/hear of anyone leaving UF with the exception of some minority hires that are recruited away with big big money.  Qualified African American coaches and professors are in big demand at southern colleges. I know one African American American coach who was recruited by a college in Mississippi three times. Each time she was offered big money. Each time she turned down the offer.   The money was too big for the coach to turn down the offer the fourth time and the coach moved to Mississippi.

Professors and coaches that are leaving are leaving are leaving due to monies offered or better opportunities.[/quote]

When professors start having their speech censored, they will leave UF.

Every one now is hoping the courts will save them from DeSantis. What he has imposed is blatant censorship. He even has canceled majors he disagrees with.

This kind of stuff doesn't happen overnight.

I went to UF and loved it. But wouldn't send my kid there now. [/quote]
