For years, political scientist Scott Yenor has advocated for overhauling colleges and universities[…]
Now Yenor may get a chance to implement his policy proposals after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis appointed him to the Board of the University of West Florida, a public school in Pensacola with about 14,000 students

The Republican Governor’s appointment of Yenor and four others to the UWF Board of Trustees this week comes two years after DeSantis stacked the Board of another public school, New College of Florida, in what critics called a hostile political takeover. Within weeks, New College’s new Board fired the sitting President and then replaced her with a former state lawmaker and ally of the Governor

A professor at Boise State University, Yenor has written extensively on what he sees as the dangers of diversity, equity and inclusion efforts in higher education as well as the declines of traditional marriage and birth rates in the U.S. He’s also a former fellow at The Heritage Foundation[…]
Speaking at the National Conservatism Conference in 2021, Yenor detailed what he sees as the “evils” of feminism, labeled “independent women” as “medicated, meddlesome and quarrelsome” and decried colleges and universities as “the citadels of our gynecocracy”[…]
“If we want a great nation, we should be preparing young women to become mothers,” Yenor said, “not finding every reason for young women to delay motherhood until they are established in a career or sufficiently independent”

Yenor argued that higher education “delays growing up,” saying that college and universities are “indoctrination camps” that society should de-emphasize in order to make progress on “family matters”

“Every effort must be made not to recruit women into engineering, but rather to recruit and demand more of men who become engineers. Ditto for med school and the law and every trade”[…]
