Ben Sasse told The New York Times that professors shouldn't feel stifled by a new Florida law.
"You want to actually be teaching debates that allow people to get inside texts and wrestle," he said.
Sasse, a former Nebraska senator, took over the reigns of the University of Florida earlier this year.
In July, SB 266, which mandates that professors cannot "distort" historical events, became Florida law.
"There's nothing that's going to keep a University of Florida professor from teaching that," he told the newspaper.
