At this point, I think the only conservative academics might be some economists and theology professors at religious universities. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out - if it's true that lots of academics were not allowed into tenure etc because of bias rather than the alternate view that education corresponds with liberalism, there might be a flood of potential hires, albeit not with existing track records. However, if that isn't true, then you're going to be looking at the dregs of the academic system, people who both can't get jobs elsewhere and don't have an ability to get an associated job who are willing to go to a very annoying (to them) political climate.
Well, then I have to say his policies are working. The Governor can’t just fire tenured professors, I don’t think. All he can really do is make them quit. So, while I’m sure plenty of liberals will see this as a reasonable response to his policies; it’s actually a win for DeSantis, and his supporters will only see it as such. Believe me, the Federalist Society and Heritage Foundation, et. al., will see to it that those positions are filled quickly with the “right people.”
