This very well written analysis is infuriating because it is so true. My youngest (thankfully) graduated from New College before the Fascist takeover described in this piece. https://donmoynihan.substa...

The brown-shirt take-over of this liberal arts oasis in the Florida public university system is extremely painful. You sit there thinking - how can they do that? Ignore the interests if students, faculty, staff and alumni. Bully your way into control and impose your will, not because you believe

it's for the better. But because you have the political power to do so because you have gerrymandered the state system to take control. This is not the will of the people, this is the will of the politicians, associated grifters and sycophants.

THIS is the DeSantis approach: take control of a governing body, replace the members with your cronies, and use them to impose your will. He started with New College, which, because it is a public college, is subject to the Florida Legislature. Given the success he went after Disney.

But Disney has the resources and decided to fight back. It will be good to see them put these bullies in their place. It's too bad that it will be too late for the students' and faculty at New College.
