What the fuck is this guy so afraid of?
He also wants to strip professors of tenure protections by letting the board conduct a "review" whenever they'd like. The board is full of political appointees. So the entire concept of tenure will be gone.
He also wants presidents of universities (another political appointment) to have full control over hiring instead of using committees of faculty to vet new hires.
Taken together, he can appoint political hacks and they will have full authority to hire/fire on whatever criteria they want. And it will for sure be political appointees dead set on fighting the culture war by firing liberal professors and hiring conservative people whether they are qualified or not.
He's also creating a new "civics" course which all undergrads will be required to take.
He also created an exemption for hiring university presidents so that the Sunshine Law doesn't apply and we have no transparency on who was considered or why someone was chosen. This is how Ben Sasse became president of UF. >

DeSantis continues his "Bleach America" tour. >

We should also call it what it is: Fascism.
