This will lead to a classic adverse selection outcome: all the profs with exit options — eg the high quality ones — will leave, and only the dumdums will stay. Adios Texas… https://t.co/l9eVmeiaLc

This is happening now with all careers in red states, not just professors. And it’s going to get worse. We’re two of the smart people leaving and like most trends that are actually helpful, I’m ahead of that one. Many, many more will follow us out.

If you’re not leaving now you’re just screwing yourself over. Overcome inertia and get the fuck out now while you can.
