All those things you just mentioned are heavily influenced by who is in political power.

Sure, but those issues are more than just academics “not feeling wanted”

Ok, but did you read the article? It’s about a specific issues at Florida Universities where top leadership is being replaced by politically influenced Republican appointees who are punishing academic for doing their jobs as well as the impacts of anti academic legislation that’s making it harder for professors to do their jobs properly. You’re just complaining that they aren’t also covering random other social issues as well? It’s a news article about a specific subject, that doesn’t mean other subjects don’t exist outside of the scope of the article, otherwise you’d need every article to be an encyclopedia. It’s just how writing and articles work. I don’t understand your complaint.

About

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis aspires to be the same kind of Autocrat despised by the founders of the United States. He must be exposed for what he is: a great threat to our Democratic Republic and American values. Republicans don’t punish big businesses like the Walt Disney Company for disagreeing with them. Fascists do. DeSantis and those like him are a massive threat to our Democracy.
