The only reasonable response to this is for every sociology professor to blatantly flout the law. This must continue until either the state backs down, or it becomes impossible for anybody to get a degree in Florida that includes required sociology classes because there’s nobody left employed to teach it.
Additionally, every college in Florida should lose accreditation over this.
State accrediation is usually harder to get than the national one. When looking at schools (if you give a shit on where the degree is from) the state accred is what your looking for. If it has just the national accred, then be warry of it being a diploma mill. If it has neither, dont bother, they are likely run by a cult.
What I feel is going to happen is that companies will stop viewing that degree as favorably and pick applicants with stronger credentials. Worst case is that people with social science degrees from florida schools wont be able to breaking into job fields related to the degrees that are having the state intervene on the subject matter, but that will take years to notice if it happens at all.
I think you mean “regional accreditation” (e.g. https://sacscoc.org/ in this case), not “state accreditation.” Which is good, because Florida can’t exercise complete control over it.
I mean the accreditation for the university itself should be pulled, as the state exerting that level of control calls the credibility of the entire institution into question.

Thank you for the correction, been a long time since Ive been around higher ed.
Unfortunately sociology does not seem to have A singular nationwide accreditation body (like ABET for STEM).
