Legal Battles Erupt as New College of Florida Fights 'Alt New College' Takeover

Attorneys representing New College of Florida, which was taken over by allies of Governor Ron DeSantis as part of his "war on woke," have threatened to sue a group of former faculty members and students who have formed an alternative online institute called "Alt New College." The online institute aims to teach free and subsidized courses while preserving the original educational philosophy of the school. Attorneys argue that Alt New College may be violating the school's trademark and causing confusion. The conservative takeover of New College has led to faculty departures and student transfers, attracting national attention and criticism.
