Months after what critics have decried as a conservative takeover at New College of Florida, students and professors say a sense of confusion and anxiety looms over the start of fall semester in Sarasota, Florida.
Amy Reid, a member of the school’s Board of Trustees, said course options have dwindled after nearly 40% of faculty members have resigned.
Reid said the situation is quickly becoming “untenable.”
“Just before I came to this meeting, I received word that one more faculty member in biology is leaving,” she told CNN. “That’s going to make a challenge for students to complete their areas of studies here.”
Classes are scheduled to begin on August 28, but Chai Leffler is already struggling to navigate his fourth year at the school.
Leffler is an urban studies major, but he said most of his professors have resigned.
In order to graduate, Leffler said he has asked faculty in other subject areas to sponsor his thesis.

Ten bucks says.most of the cancelled courses were useless.bs.
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…
So they’re searching for a college president.
“We’re Number 5! We’re Number 5!”

Like this one;
Leffler is an urban studies major.
“Like this one;
Leffler is an urban studies major.”
His first name being “Chai” might be a clue.
I say drop him in the middle of San Fran or Chitcago and he can write his "thesis" in his own blood.
“””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.
“… Classes are scheduled to begin on August 28, but Chai Leffler is already struggling to navigate his fourth year at the school. Leffler is an urban studies major, but he said most of his professors have resigned. …”

See post 7. Thanks Ron DeSantis!
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.
His last gig was repairing rotary phones...
"Urban studies". He'll be lucky if he has to change to a real major.
Oh no! Moron skulls full of mush will find it harder to fo hundreds of thousands of dollars into debt to get an absolutely worthless degree.
3 whole connections!
Florida dude is killing it!
