Florida is the first state to issue a joint system response to @EDSecMcMahon's National Call to Action with all 28 Florida College System Presidents and 12 State University System Presidents affirming their commitment to academic and operational excellence.
Across Florida, our colleges and universities are dedicated to upholding rigorous academic standards, protecting free expression and open inquiry, keeping higher education affordable, and preparing students for meaningful careers, citizenship and service to our nation.

I proudly joined higher education leaders from across Florida today as Governor DeSantis signed HB 757 focused on strengthening school and campus safety measures statewide.
Thank you Governor DeSantis for your commitment to protecting Florida students and communities.
Great to be at the Florida Department of Education Commissioner’s Summit in Miami today to sign HB 757, which enhances school safety measures at our colleges and universities. This legislation protects students and makes campuses more secure by:
✔️ Expanding Florida’s School Guardian Program to public higher education institutions
✔️ Transferring threat assessment reports and psychological evaluations in K-12 student records to a Florida postsecondary institution upon the student’s enrollment
✔️ Establishing faculty training and threat management teams to intervene with students displaying behavioral health issues
✔️ Requiring an annual security risk assessment at every campus in Florida
We will continue to champion policies that keep our students safe in Florida’s institutions of higher learning.

Having guardians in schools is one of the most effective ways to ensure highly trained personnel are in place to respond to an active assailant.
HB 757 extends the guardian program to postsecondary institutions, ensuring students have access to safe and secure learning environments.
Thank you @michellesalzman and Senator Don Gaetz for leading this important effort to strengthen school safety at Florida’s colleges and universities.

Florida continues to lead in Civics and Debate! Because of the success achieved with K-12 students through the Florida Civics and Debate Initiative, we are now giving college students a similar opportunity.
The INAUGURAL Sunshine State Debate will unite students from Florida’s Great 28 colleges for a Reagan-style debate inspired by previous presidential debates. I’m looking forward to meeting all participating students and watching them showcase their skills in February.
BIG NEWS! @FLCollegeSystem is thrilled to host the First Sunshine State Debate competition on Feb. 16! Our amazing students will COMPETE, ENGAGE and SHINE in a Reagan-style debate at Florida’s Historic Capitol. #FL250 #FLFutureLeaders
