As a former Sarasota resident and teacher, this is so sad. New College was a gem.

DeSantis ruined New College of Florida. Absolutely ruined it. Now he’s trying to have USF absorb it.

The whole school is only 350 students? That’s small for a high school.

Small school but because of the baseball team and the salary of the new board - it spends close to $500k per kid. That's 3 times larger than UoF. The smaller public schools with less resources are closer to $60K per kid.

And the best part: none of the changes have been about improving the academics or making the curriculum more rigorous. It’s truly awful since most states do not have the privilege of a strong public liberal arts college.

Professors are fleeing New College. Very sad.

Used to be much bigger.

DeSantis chased away all the students and professors. I'm not surprised its ratings plummeted. He was trying to kill it.

What kind of ranking? Isn't not ranking season anyway. That's in the fall.

The decline started many years ago, which is why the DeSantis administration stepped in. The extreme woke model wasn't sustainable.

Stable enough to have half the ranking. Desanctimonious and co have not improved the college.

Yeah he ruined it so bad it’s now ranked 10 for best public in the nation and 135 for SLACs. Get a grip. https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/new-college-of-florida-153704

135 is…awful. No one here at least is seriously considering a sub t50 lac. It’s also top 10 for public colleges that are liberal arts colleges; of which, there are…19. So yay for being above absolutely mediocre?
