ÔÇÿDemonisedÔÇÖ professors seek exit from right-wing states

Almost 65% of professors surveyed in Florida, Texas, Georgia and North Carolina would not recommend their state as a desirable place to work, says a survey conducted by the American Association of University Professors (AAUP), which was released last month.

40% cited concerns about tenure, which has been severely restricted in these states, as well as bans on diversity, equity and inclusion offices and programmes.

Three in 10 of the 4,250 professors surveyed cited concerns about the abrogation of shared governance at their universities, their states’ restrictive policies on LGBTQ+ people, as well as restrictions on access to abortion as reasons they are considering leaving their universities.
