"Chaos, Confusion, and Controversy: New College of Florida's Turbulent Semester"

Students and professors at New College of Florida in Sarasota are reporting chaos and anxiety as the fall semester begins. Nearly 40% of faculty members have resigned, leading to a reduction in course options and challenges for students. The college's Board of Trustees, which underwent a conservative takeover earlier this year, has abolished diversity programs and is in the process of eliminating the gender studies program. Students are also facing housing issues due to air quality concerns. Despite the challenges, students are determined to preserve the unique student culture and are hopeful for future protests.
