Could you explain the Florida Laws, in some detail with links? I'm not familiar with them and would like to get up to speed. Also, I like to know which Public College or University is enacting such laws.
What Will It Take To "Make Penn State Great Again" Academically?

New College students, faculty are leaving after DeSantis takeover. Hereās how many (yahoo.com)
you can start here, if you wish
See if you had some of those āother classesā and āmajorsā you would know how to use Google.
I guess you must have cheated off all your engineering buddies.
So, appointing BOT members by the standing Governor is an outrage? HaHAHA! They haven't actually done anything but you're outraged? Find another, better example please?
Why haven't you explained Florida Laws in some detail? You know, what exactly are they banning?
I hope our president is willing to get her hands dirty in creating and executing unpopular decisions to bring the finances into balance. She also needs our prayers in dealing with the swamp creatures on the BoT.
At least we donāt have the ridiculous past president whose only notable act was easing his hands with BLM idiots.

Because I don't answer to you- if you actually want to do some research, do it yourself. Or don't- I don't give a crap.
On a positive note, Franklin has said that the alignment with Kraft and Neeli is the best heās experienced at PSU. That has to count for something. Not sure what, but something.
I recently spoke with an old friend who is rather high up in the academic side of the PSU administration and he told me something that startled me. Our new president is cutting funds (about 4% per year for four years) for many of the STEM departments, including physics, chemistry, EE, materials science, and possibly others. This in stark contrast with the trends in most American universities to bolster the STEM fields. Her reasoning is to divert funds to hire more junior faculty in the departments that service the basic required courses (English, history, writing, etc.) in order to put as many undergrad butts as possible in seats at full tuition to address the general funding shortfall. Faculty in the STEM fields will be reduced by retirement and general attrition of senior professors and those positions will not be replaced with promising young professors. The net result will be that the departments that were built up over the past few decades to greater prominence and significantly higher ranking (physics is the one I know) will now fall back to lower ranking. This will hurt Penn State in the university rankings that are academically rigorous as well as the more popular ones like US News and World Report. I fear that this will not end well for the long-term reputation of the university.
You realize that calling for anything that isn't finance or STEM to be eliminated from the degree options at PSU means that roughly 97% of our football team will be playing elsewhere next year, right?
