[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The new president of UF is a former Republican senator.[/quote]

I think that this is a healthy change.

I appreciate those who express concern about the curriculum changes and the overall guiding principles of the soon-to-be-new New College of Florida, but the current New College of Florida is more of a failure than it is a success. Change is needed as the new College of Florida is in a continuing path of decline. Taxpayer dollars should be used to fund core subjects in education.

Whether you like or dislike Governor Ron DeSantis' stance, it is a message that needs to be heard and considered by all just as opposing viewpoints should be. Governor DeSantis and the Florida legislature were elected by the people of Florida and I believe that he reflects the majority opinion of the voters in his state.[/quote]

Awesome!  Then perhaps you can explain a few things.[b] Why is He getting rid of just Black sororities and fraternities rather than ALL sororities and fraternities?[/b]  Why is he getting rid of resources for students that emphasize support for ethnicity — and not all similar resources and programs?  If the focus is on “core subjects in education “, is he getting rid of all of the sports and recreational programs?  If not, why not?

How did he go from a baseball playing Yalie to this?  
And of course if his priority was truly using tax dollars well, I’d really be interested in the funding for the Martha’s Vineyard stunt.

Could you please source that.  I have googled and searched unsuccessfully for that.[/quote]

Ok: The post I responded to is in a closed thread titled: DeSantis & Florida Colleges HB999

I’m not able to cut and past the post I’m responding to, but it’s a very short thread that was closed because this one was already active.

DP... this is really bad.

Reposting from the other locked thread

[quote]Today, HB 999 will be proposed by Ron DeSantis. If this bill passes both chambers on May 5th, the following will be removed from Florida’s College Campuses:
- NPHC Organizations
- NMGC & Latinax Organizations
- Jewish Studies courses
- Gender Studies courses
- Centers & Programs for Black Students
- Centers & Programs for Latinax Students
- Centers & Programs for Asian & AAPI Students
-Center & Programs for LGBTQ+ Students
This will pass.

Anyone who sends a kid OOS to Florida for college moving forward is brain-dead. This will pass. And it is only going to get way worse.[/quote]

I agree.  Anyone who was thinking about sending your kid to Florida for college is either brain dead or is fine with promoting straight white Christian supremacy.[/quote]

I think a lot of people still would rather send their children to colleges run by white Christian rather than facing a chance to have your kid shot in UVA. [/quote]

A lot of people would also rather not send their kids to christian college's.  I know I don't want my kids going there.  [/quote]
