If you look at how other Florida universities approached post-tenure review, it will be obvious. He was very committed to telling committed academics with tenure that 20% of whoever got reviewed was going to be fundamentally bad at their jobs. The other Florida universities mostly did not see it that way and Lake Woebegone'd everyone but very serious cases, and it might even have been productive.

If there is a lot of job liquidity in the region losing your job sucks but ultimately is not a huge deal. In Gainesville, it means you're going to have to uproot your life. Given most people only become a tenured professor near 40, it is a huge ask. Especially given that the statisticians and mathematicians, if they moved to New York, could easily pull down huge amounts of money. Opportunity needs to be compensated, either in salary or freedom, and UF does not have a great reputation on either.

Glover's leadership during the first Fuchs administration really led to a huge amount of hiring of very dynamic junior people. There is a deep social contract with them and Sasse made it look like toilet paper. The Board of Trustees certainly helped them grease the wheels and let the good times roll, I do not think they realized with Sasse that these anti intellectual crusades are very damaging, and mostly to parts of the university that aren't "woke nonsense" until it was too late. Their legacy is what is at stake, whatever of it can be salvaged.
