@jeffjarvis Important to note that this is by design. They want to replace the tenured faculty with right wing Christo-fascist sympathetic professors. The easiest way is through attrition, avoiding the legal battles of firing tenured professors who don't happen to teach or research exactly what the state wants them to.

Republicans don’t want real education.
They prefer their half-wit supporters are uneducated so they can fill their minds with vile propaganda. Like Russians, American Republicans no longer care about truth or fact or the real world.
All that conservative freedom. What a joke.
Republicans don’t care about freedom. They know education sets you free, so they destroy education. They are the enemy of free people everywhere.

@davidfowler @Brad_Rosenheim @jeffjarvis Educated people cannot be controlled easily. Also they earn higher wages. To the GOP, that’s a bad thing!
