Gov. Ron DeSantis has appointed six trustees to the New College of Florida to quash its progressive curriculum.
, “Academic quality, affordability and accountability rarely happen on their own. They require exceptional leaders. And Trustees are the key.”
“Right-wing, plutocratic, libertarians in Florida saw a chance to create pro free-market, pro-government-deregulation policies as a response to the Black Lives Matter protests and the government response to the COVID-19 pandemic that began in 2020,” Isaac Kamola, co-author of. “Three years ago, many people were starting to demand a structural transformation of U.S. society. The right saw and heard this demand and freaked out.
Amy Reid, professor of French language and literature and director of NCF’s gender studies program, toldthat while faculty, students and alumni are organizing to support each other in their fight to protect academic freedom, faculty governance and free speech, she understands that the trustees have control over the college’s purse strings. “Gender studies gets about $7,000 a year for programming and office supplies, things like our phone and copy machine.
Erik Wallenberg, a visiting professor of history, agreed. “I’ve only been at NCF since August 2022, but it’s been a delight to be here,” he said, adding that the pedagogical model used at NCF “is one that should be replicated, not destroyed.”
