Always interesting to see parts of yourself in a NY Times trend piece. I would also push back against the lede here, as it is not liberal-leaning professors who are leaving. It is professors, faculty, staff, and students who don't want to be targeted and harassed for doing their work. (And the university administration is completely unprepared/unwilling to protect its faculty from baseless attacks.) https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/03/us/florida-professors-education-desantis.html?unlocked_article_code=1.DE0.kr81.5YjPkkvzlcy1&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
