Florida College in Turmoil Over 'Woke' Conflict

Republican Governor Ron DeSantis has targeted New College of Florida, a public liberal arts college, as a staging ground for his war on "woke." DeSantis and his allies say the school is indoctrinating students with leftist ideology and should be revamped into a more conservative institution. Students and faculty fear for the extinction of New College as they know it, as the new trustees have dismantled the office of diversity and equity and posted vague warnings on social media. The upheaval has been chilling and disruptive, with students and faculty using personal email and encrypted messaging platforms to discuss the situation.
