NCF faculty clarify what actually happened at graduation heraldtribune.com/story/opin…

New College of Florida's students are being treated like political pawns. Again.

New College of Florida's administration is intent on scapegoating and punishing students for its mistakes during NCF's recent graduation ceremony.

Actually, the @usnews methodology document states that the Peer Assessment data were collected in the spring and summer of 2023, which means that the last 6 months absolutely could impact this metric, weighted at 20% — next highest category, graduation rate, is 16%

US News made major adjustments to the rankings, and the data lags as much as 2 years on several measures. The 2023 rankings have nothing to do with what has happened in the last 6 months. Meanwhile, NCF enrollment is FINALLY growing. Thanks!

Note that this investigation is specifically about disability discrimination. So when a certain trustee spouts off about abolishing the DOE, he should clarify that he’s mad about the College being held accountable for discrimination based on disability. Who does that??

Important note here is that the previous president was on the job less than four years, and had already turned around what the president four years ago had gotten wrong. (See: Red-Flag Scandal.) (Also see: Pandemic, while we're at it.)

So you are saying that you knew ~30 were leaving, but instead of getting busy hiring new qualified faculty you denied tenure to ones who were staying and created a hostile environment for folks who had no plans to leave...

TLDR: New College didn’t just find mold and say “ok let’s send students to hotels” , they recruited more students (thru athletics) than their facilities could handle, gave athletes the best dorms, sent upperclassmen to the Pei dorms despite mold reports finding them uninhabitable – at Sarasota, FL

Peace and love, but if you’re gonna report on this you gotta get the full picture. Mold isn’t the only reason New College’s housing situation is in the state that it’s in. In fact, I reported on how the influx of athletes prompted this over a month ago wfla.com/news/sarasota-count… – at Sarasota, FL

New College of Florida students displaced from dorms due to mold

Some New College of Florida students are being to forced to live in hotel rooms after mold was discovered inside dorm rooms.
