Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) left his office early to become president of the University of Florida system at a time when Republicans in the state, led by Gov. Ron DeSantis, are trying to reshape higher education. The result, wrote Georgetown University professor Jacques Berlinerblau for MSNBC, is the decimation of the state's academia.

As a former adjunct faculty member for 4 PA Universities. I adamantly oppose this interference. I enjoyed my academic freedom to instruct based on clinical parameters.

...""One way to stave off this attack on the professoriate: Professors across the U.S. must exhibit what sociologists call 'guild solidarity,'" wrote Berlinerblau. For example, he continued, the GOP was able to take over the federal judiciary because judges, right up to Supreme Court nominees like Neil Gorsuch, let it happen, willingly taking part to advance their own careers.
"I call on every American scholar with a public platform to bring their expertise to bear on what is happening in Florida and elsewhere," he continued, saying they should raise alarms collectively on every podcast and news outlet that will have them — and get administrators to join them.
If this mass uprising doesn't materialize, wrote Berlinerblau, then "the aforementioned capture — or destruction — of the entire educational sector will proceed apace."
