On the topic of political views in Florida public universities, Ben Sasse is to be the president of the University of Florida. It's probably more of a flagship institution. And I think is Sasse is a far more serious and thoughtful person than Rufo, who actually respects principles of academic freedom in ways that Rufo doesn't.

I like Sasse, although I'm to his left politically, and I hope his interest in academic freedom keeps him from culture warring with the humanities departments. (As someone who's spent a lot of time in humanities departments, I have much less confidence in the reactions of the humanity professors, TBH. Sorry to tattle on my people.)
It does make me chortle my most cynical chortle that the ladder Sasse used to climb upward in academia was a US SENATORSHIP.
No "probably" about it, UF is the flagship, or perhaps co-flagship with FSU.
I've admired Sasse's interactions with Braver Angels in particular, so I agree that he's serious and thoughtful. It's still a pretty political appointment, but it's better than I might have expected from De Santis.
