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.

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

Except
this college went conservative and the woke leftists profs resigned.
but You should want this college to succeed
New college is a state run small liberal arts college. Before Chris Ruffo set about making the school balanced, it was similar to the ever so liberal Reed, Evergreen and Oberlin colleges. I heard they got a number of conservative transfers coming in to replace the libs transferring out.
“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.
