According to a Sunday report in the New York Times, the newspaper "interviewed a dozen academics — in fields ranging from law to psychology to agronomy — who have left Florida public universities or given their notice, many headed to blue states.

The Times notes, "Some of those professors said political interference contributed to their departures, while other faculty said Florida's reputation had deterred professors elsewhere from joining."
