Interesting article. Nearly three-quarters of enrolled students say their decision to stay at their college or university is at least somewhat affected by their state’s reproductive health laws, the poll showed. “That’s a large percentage of people saying, ‘You know what, if they had those restrictive reproductive care [laws], I don’t think I would attend a school in those states,’ ” said Courtney Brown, vice president of strategic impact and planning at Lumina, a foundation that promotes access to post-secondary education. Most adults value reproductive rights when deciding where to go to college, poll shows | CNN Doesn't bode well for UF given the six week ban. A lot of things going on that could hurt admissions but the current legislation will be a non-starter for a lot of potential applicants and many current students. Anyone who has the academic capital to be accepted at UF has a lot of choices. Most of the highest ranked colleges and universities are located in states with least restrictions on abortion access.
Not sure the current group running the state wants college educated young women here anyway. They may consider this development a feature, not a bug
Yep, probably also pleases those here that think UF has become too selective and wishes for a return to the good old days when most anyone could get in.
UF will be just fine. It is good we protect the most innocent in this state. Though we could and can still do better.
My daughter is graduating from high school this year and was accepted to UF but with all the stupid culture war legislation around abortion, DEI, gay and trans rights she elected to not go to UF. Sad for her mother and I who both grew up in Florida and graduated from UF but we totally support it!
So sorry. Our situation is slightly analogous. We used to try to persuade our 26-year-old to move back to Florida from California. We no longer do. Just the opposite. Not safe here.
Yeah. I find that stat hard to believe. My guess is the question was a bit leading and kids dont want to answer contrary to the flow. The truth will be in the numbers. Lets see if enrollment is impacted 8n any way before putting much stock in this.
UF has been woke for some time. There would plenty of comrades to join and support the legal killing of the most innocent while trying to figure out if they are non binary. Binary. Plus. He/her. She/him. Etc etc etc…
I would suspect UF has peaked into it perceived academic prominence. You have lots of factors working against it - anti woke laws and curriculum legislation make it less attractive for both students and professors - appointment of a conservative politician as president - abortion laws - having a quack state surgeon general on staff Part of a colleges reputational score is based on what other college administrators think of you. There’s no way that holds with the above things going on.

They will I am sure. Always a left campus. Just amusing the reasons you gave. If you have been to UF anytime recently. It has all you imply your daughter wants. But I get DeSantis has done great to build on what Rick Scott had been doing (even Jeb/Crist was border line a democrat and finally found his home) and it has some of you all messed up lol. And now we are as red as it gets as a State.
Doesn’t matter if the campus is woke, the state is turning into a red cesspool so better off not being there as UF’s reputation declines due to the stupidity coming out of the legislature.
What sort of impacts would be a tell? Total applications Out of state applications Female applications Grades test score averages? College ranking U S News. Lets set some metrics and check it bi annually or annually.
