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.”

      Sounds about right. How long have the kids been being the ones punished for the parents shitty actions?

      We used to live in a society that wanted the young to succeed and older individuals wanted the next generation to live better than they had.

      Probably parents of other kids who wouldn’t have gone to the former New College in the first place.
