I have no knowledge of anything - good or bad about the New College of Florida. Not sure I’ve even heard of it before.

But if it’s like the majority of woke colleges in America - GOOD!

I hope they fail.

“That’s going to make a challenge for students to complete their areas of studies here.”

Or keep your paycheck…

“””Terry confirmed that there are 341 incoming freshman this year compared to 277 in the fall of 2022. The school has a total enrollment of about 800 students, he said.”””


I live in the area and I have heard that students are coming from other colleges and entering as sophomores and juniors.

So CNN is being deceitful when they only report on the increase of incoming freshmen.

No surprise there.

Faculty more committed to leftism than they are to their students.

Was chatting with a guy in front of me checking out. 36 years in education. Had a student badmouth a teacher and was sent to him for discipline. Her comment to him, “Bite me.” So he did.

Back in the day.

Earlier this month, the Board of Trustees began the process to eliminate the school’s gender studies program. The move prompted one gender studies professor, Nicholas Clarkson, to quit.

His last gig was repairing rotary phones...

Leffler is an urban studies major, but he said most of his professors have resigned.

"Urban studies". He'll be lucky if he has to change to a real major.

It's August, so nope. Roasting balloons filled with hot air....

CNN trots out Amy Reid, as a "trustee," in an article which it took two journalism majors and a politcal science major to scribble. Not much to identify her? Easily availble info, and easy to ignore....

Amy Reid
Professor of French Language and Literature
Director of Gender Studies

This is pertinent to her itsy-bitsy mention because....

"New College of Florida trustees move to end gender studies major"

https://www.tampabay.com/news/education/2023/08/10/new-college-florida-trustees-move-end-gender-studies/

This explains her appearance to "testify" to CNN.

Any course with “studies” in its name is leftist garbage.

“Leffler is an urban studies major”

Grievance studies majors are worse than useless, so if he has to switch to a real major, it will be to his benefit.
