Semester Start at New College of Florida Plagued by Chaos, Say Students and Professors

Students and professors at New College of Florida in Sarasota are reporting chaos and anxiety as the fall semester begins, following what critics describe as a conservative takeover of the institution. Nearly 40% of faculty members have resigned, leading to a reduction in course options and challenges for students to complete their areas of study. The new board of trustees, appointed by Governor Ron DeSantis, has abolished diversity, equity, and inclusion programs and aims to transform the college into a "classical college." Students are also facing housing issues, with some being housed in hotels due to air quality concerns in the dorms. Despite the challenges, students are determined to preserve the unique student culture at the school.
