The University of Florida (the flagship university of Florida) has been declining in the world university academic rankings, dropping from a top-tier university in the top 100 to a third-tier university in just a few years, thanks in no small part to DeSantis. I predicted this a few years ago. Historical rankings of the University of Florida: 2025: 151-200 2024: 101-150 2023: 101-150 2022: 94 2021: 97 2020: 88 2019: 95 2018: 86 2017: 87
