In 2023, the state government of Florida overhauled its board of trustees in an attempt to transform the school into a conservative institution. Since then, nearly 40% of faculty have resigned. New College has the smallest student population in the State University System of Florida with 669 students (2022).
This is the small public university that has had a hostile takeover by DeSantis and his cronies, with the explicit purpose of turning it into the “Hillsdale of the South.” Hillsdale is a private conservative Christian college. They’re trying to do that at a publicly funded state college.
