[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Although Florida is the #1 most moved-to state now, it also has the highest inflation and most dramatic increases in home prices. Adding to that, insurance is significantly more expensive than in other states, and the recent tort reforms intended to make Florida friendlier to insurers hasn't really been tested. So I would speculate that lower-income professional jobs like professor might be dissuaded from putting down roots in an area they can barely afford. The politics is probably also a factor for many professors, but I doubt it's the whole story.  [/quote]

Sure, there are other major problems that could keep someone from coming to Florida now, too.

But the witch hunt political climate in education, along with them decimating the tenure system, are big factors, too! Add in the escalating attacks on the gay and trans community, and you can see why academics would take their time and talent elsewhere. This is going to be a place where people come if they have literally no other options.[/quote]

Pretty much. They may take a position in Florida to possibly start, but not plan to stay there even long enough to get tenure. Many states have a tenure post review process, so that's not unusual. What is unusual is the clamp down on free speech. [/quote]
