3 Florida professors sue state over 2023 tenure law, claiming it violates legislative and Board of Governors' authority.
Three Florida professors have filed a lawsuit against the state's 2023 tenure law, claiming it oversteps the legislature's authority and unconstitutionally infringes on the Board of Governors' authority. The law requires tenured faculty members to undergo a comprehensive post-tenure review every five years, with university presidents having the final say on tenure decisions. The lawsuit alleges that these changes remove protections for tenured professors and replace them with a five-year contract renewable at the discretion of university presidents, potentially affecting their career opportunities and ability to obtain government grants.
