New College of Florida

New College of Florida is a public liberal arts college in Sarasota, Florida. The college is a member of the Council of Public Liberal Arts Colleges. In 2023, the state government of Florida overhauled its board of trustees in an attempt to transform the school into a conservative institution.[7][8] Since then, nearly 40% of faculty have resigned.[9] New College has the smallest student population in the State University System of Florida with 669 students (2022).[10]
