Congratulations!

Still, I love FL and will miss FSU. This is a beautiful state full of great people who are fighting hard for progressive change. There will always be excellent students here who deserve a low-cost, high-quality education full of opportunities. I hope that doesn’t completely disappear. 5/5

As more faculty leave FL, departments become less attractive even for those of us who might have wanted to stay and fight. My department is losing 6 tenured/TT faculty this year and lost 5 last year. The situation is compounded by inability to retain competent support staff. 4/5

And FL is a mess – everyone knows what’s going on with higher ed here, I don’t have to catalog the state attacks and the compliance of these institutions. Don’t forget the attacks on K-12 and LGBTQ people in general. 3/5

My teachers and mentors changed the course of my life. When I think about my professional legacy, it’s not scientific discoveries and journal articles, it’s my impact as a teacher and mentor on students like the undergrad I once was. This move betters align my job with this priority. 2/5

We’re working on a MARC application st FSU and this is my fear. VPR says no worries, the new policies won’t impact this. But it has to be on reviewers’ minds even if technically we are able to have such a program.

Always important to keep in mind that the entire white-parent freakout about affirmative action is that their kids will have to attend their second- or third-choice school.

Seems very problematic to me

Is the “safe cities” list public? Planning future sites for Society for the Study of Ingestive Behavior meetings and this would be so helpful.

Same here. A year ago I had a pinch of optimism, but that’s gone.
