'“It’s really helpful to talk to organizers and be like, ‘Wow, people are doing things,’” said Jacobson. “All you hear is bad news, so it’s like, damn, there are people out here fighting for us, and they live right here.”'

Which alum is halfway to an EGOT? What's worth watching that ain't in the contest? Why, George Kuchar, why?
This documentary is getting recognition and I’m so glad. It is a travesty what has been done to that once admirable institution #Newcollegeofflorida and it is happening everywhere else youtu.be/29WXahafjsM?...

The signs that went up in 2023 said #YourCampusIsNext.
What really happened (and what's happening next)?
New documentary dropped that spent a *lot* of time on the ground:

#NewCollegeOfFlorida not housing the new athletes super well.

The #NewCollegeOfFlorida resistance is applying research and data analysis skills to political strategy.

The classical education movement was, in some ways, a victim of Florida grift... once you look. The problem is getting the right people to not look away.
#NewCollegeOfFlorida is up to 90 baseball players this semester. Student body is still under 1,000 students.

NCF's actual application to join an athletics association: << (Screengrab of application, printed question, handwritten reply): >> What value will this school bring to the NAIA if it becomes a member?

The inclusions of athletes allows us to build awareness in new ways. <<
Remember when? #NewCollegeOfFlorida applies to NAIA.
Was this Chris Rufo’s spot? I’m being serious. His term was up for renewal.
I think Chris Rufo was just replaced by a football coach who kicked a player.

“I can only assume that New College will next announce its high-speed rail project. And The New York Times will write with wan eloquence about the proposed Charlie Kirk Station and Beruff Field Terminal. This isn’t really a response to the details in the most recent The New York Times piece, the flagrant ignorance of which arguably doesn’t deserve a response. Also, maybe get HBO. Something’s brewing.”

Jamie Miller's comms department is launching a new campaign for the remade #NewCollegeOfFlorida. Not sure this will go as expected.
>> Have a story to tell about why you chose New College?

This is an exceptionally written opinion piece from someone that knows & understands the academic ideals of #NewCollegeOfFlorida. On #CharlieKirk, she writes:
“He did not seek to understand – he sought to dominate.”
This is a very good read about what #NewCollegeOfFlorida was really like, and what forces were and are arrayed against it.
And why it matters. Ecstatic wonder.
How's your campus looking?

a bar graph showing costs per student at all the Florida State University System institutions. In just administrative costs - NOT faculty or research - New College is triple most schools, other than UF (which, if you'll remember, is where Ben Sasse was caught hosting $300/plate sushi parties for consultants and flying out-of-staters around in private jets on the university dime). And New College is larger than UF even still.
#NewCollegeOfFlorida administrative costs are hoooo-boy.

1. Nathan Allen is really on a tear lately
2. The #NewCollegeOfFlorida takeover crew are not masterminds, or at least not doing their homework….

And just a reminder for #HigherEd everywhere - your campus is next.
How do you continue to exist as a student in an authoritarian campus takeover?
How can you maintain joy as an act of resistance?

A whole *other* angle this time!
"Anyone who entertained this conflagration of horseshit is guilty of felony stupidity. And it is beyond any reasonable doubt that this process was clearly rigged.
The only question is: rigged by whom?"

When you hear "Woke" listen for "Ka-Ching."

A #NewCollegeOfFlorida classmate of mine with what I'd call extensive federal government experience has just resigned.
To run for Congress.
Every time you hear “woke” you should listen for “ka-ching”; of course this guy had a speaking engagement at #NewCollegeOfFlorida… (days after a Chinese asylum-seeker prof was fired without warning, mid-semester).
