I guess they think this is somehow getting back at college professors that are intellectual enough to question conservatives

6. There won't be enough paying "mission aligned" students to attend

Why pay for higher education, something that is discouraged by Conservatives for all but the wealthiest, especially if they are teaching you things you can learn for free watching FoxNews and reading Twitter? The school will drain taxpayer money into DeSantis's friends' pockets until it is shuttered.

11. What is so sad about this is that New College is the gem of the system

I'm going off of memory but if it serves me well something like 85% of the 4 year graduates go on to a graduate program. It's been going on since damn thing started not just the last couple of years.

Also if I remember right students would actually create their own curriculum with the guidance of one of the professors. It's a wonderful system for bright intelligent people. I would have never gone there when I was in college because I wasn't that creative. But there are people that are and they're not going to go there anymore. That's sad.
