Florida Bars State Professors from Testifying in Voting Rights Case

• nobody9999 5y ago
  You'd think that the University of Florida would maintain its historical levels of academic freedom. And all the issues we're having with censorship, it's really strange that they'd try to limit the political speech of SMEs. That's unfortunate. Hopefully we can get back to a place where the government embraces free speech rather than trying to stifle it.

  They're state employees, of course they shouldn't be able to testify. They're unelected?

  > University officials told the three that because the school was a state institution, participating in a lawsuit against the state “is adverse to U.F.’s interests” and could not be permitted. Hmmm... that was new.
