Removal of Sociology as General Education Requirement in Florida

February 19, 2024 12:54 PM | John Curtis (Administrator)

"Sociology: Practically Constitutional!" Florida’s move to marginalize sociology is shortsighted, Jerry A. Jacobs writes. (Inside Higher Ed, 2/14/24)

"Being against sociology makes about as much sense as being against meteorology because the weather report might reveal an impending heat wave or cold snap. Good news or bad, we need to know about the weather just as we need to know about what is happening in our society."

ASA letter to members (PDF, 2/5/24): "Fundamentally, we want
students to have freedom to learn sociology, and this is a time when we all as sociologists must work together to advance this shared goal."
