Are these drafts obtained by public document request accessible anywhere?

There's a link to the full higher-ed proposal in the post. I'll include links to all the others in the next post about this stuff.

It's typical of people who have never taught at a university or finished the long slog for a PhD to feel as if they know exactly how to "fix" a state's higher education system.

Excellent, well-researched piece of investigative journalism, Mr. Garcia.

Seems pretty based if you ask me.

After wasting 15 years of hoping to "live the dream"full-time in in FL, I returned home to Massachusetts last September and removed a huge weight off my shoulders. (Yes, I know DeSantis has degrees from Yale & Harvard.) Once in a blue moon, I force myself to dip my toe into the Florida news cycle, as a politics junkie, and remain aghast. FL is very likely lost for the indefinite future and I can only hope that national media will be relentless in exposing this sad excuse for a human being in the '24 election cycle. I feel so sad for his children.

This is fascism 101…..what is wrong with voters in Florida? Dare I hope that Crist will use this in his campaign(along with many other things) or is that a lost cause?

Sounds like DeSantis is awesome. Public unis *are* socialist indoctrination factories and the state should try to reign them in.

God bless DeSantis

*Public* universities, eh? Autonomous? *eyebrow raise*

The free state of Florida. Free to do whatever DeSantis tells you. Just like the free counties of Putin’s Russia, Xi’s China and Castro’s (and inheritors) Cuba, among others.

They’re public universities, sweaty.

They will Lise their accreditation if all of this takes place.

Your investigative reporting is absolutely amazing. I just discovered you over here today.

This is all straight out of the authoritarian’s playbook. Idk if they’re directly following the example of Orban’s Hungary, but it seems like there’s some evidence of that. Fun stuff…
