Florida's controversial post-tenure review policy, implemented in 2022, has led to an increase in departures among tenure-track faculty members at public institutions. A recent study from the University of Southern California revealed that while the percentage of departing faculty rose from about 4% to 5%, non-tenure-track faculty were unaffected. Interestingly, the policy has not improved faculty productivity and instead appears to have driven away highly productive educators from the state. Critics argue that the penalties for unsatisfactory ratings are too severe, highlighting the detrimental effects on Florida's academic landscape.
After implementing Florida's post-tenure review policy, a study found an increase in faculty departures, predominantly among highly productive professors with no improvement in productivity.
The departure of tenure-track faculty increased to 5%, a clear indication that the policy, while aimed at enhancing performance, primarily pushed away the state’s most talented educators.
