At New College of Florida, a ‘ridiculously high’ number of faculty are gone

Many frustrated teachers and researchers have resigned or taken leaves to look for other jobs, school officials say.

@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.

That won't help them if the students and the recognition from out of state will stay away.

@yacc143 @jeffjarvis You are right. But they think they are right too, and that their innovation in higher ed will have folks clamoring to come to Florida. As for recognition, well, a lot has been written about farcical #university #rankings are. #UF University of Florida had made it to #4 in the nation for public schools but fell in the rankings after the governor emplaced a surgeon general with ill-reviewed tenure on the faculty and the faculty conducted an opaque search for a president (landing on former republican senator from Nebraska, Ben Sasse). They sunk all the way to #5. 🤷
