UFF's Perspective on the 2024 "Viewpoint Discrimination" Survey

April 22, 2024

Last week, we started receiving emails inviting us to participate in this year's Intellectual Freedom and Viewpoint Diversity survey, part of HB233 adopted by the Florida Legislature during the 2021 session. This survey requires all faculty, staff, and students to disclose their political and religious views and those they perceive to belong to their peers. 

The United Faculty of Florida (UFF) strongly advises against participating in this survey. Our blog provides UFF's guidance and perspective on the survey and the critical reasons for its recommendation.
