Survey by American Association of Professors shows nearly quarter of respondents are switching due to states’s politics
Many professors in the US south, particularly in Florida, South Carolina and Texas, are considering leaving their state because of the impact the political climate is having on education, according to a new survey by the American Association of Professors.
The survey received responses from approximately 4,000 faculty members across the south and included other states, such as Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, and Kentucky, in its findings. About 25% of the professors in Texas who responded said they have applied for teaching roles in other states in the last two years, with another 25% saying they intend to start a search.
Last year, salary was the top reason as to why educators across the south were seeking employment elsewhere. In this year’s findings, however, “broad political climate” was the top motivator.
Australia is very very hard to emigrate to if you have no link to it. I’d wager most Americans wouldn’t make it.
Most places are hard to emigrate to unless you have a degree that’s valuable and/or have familial ties to the country.
If the US gets too insane then the undocumented crisis might reverse direction as undocumented americans migrate out of the country as refugees.
