The newly appointed conservative board of trustees at the New College of Florida once again flexed its muscles and denied early tenure to five faculty members Wednesday, prompting a longer-tenured trustee to quit.
The six conservative trustees, appointed by Gov. Ron DeSantis earlier this year, have vowed to remake the small public college into a bastion of classical liberal arts education over the loud objections of the college's faculty and students. The school has long been known as a liberal enclave that consistently ranked as among the friendliest schools to gay and transgender students.
“You’ve got a brand new president, a brand new provost. You have literally a change in direction,” Corcoran said. “Let’s just defer it one year.”
