Professors’ union sanctions Florida college over ‘political’ DeSantis takeover

Vote to sanction New College comes after investigation on Desantis’s ‘politically, racially, and ideologically motivated attacks’

A national university professors union has voted to sanction New College of Florida, the former liberal arts school where Ron DeSantis orchestrated an unprecedented “aggressively ideological and politically motivated” takeover by a group of ultra-conservative cronies.

The vote to sanction New College came after an investigation by the American Association of University Professors (AAUP), which has placed only 12 other universities on its sanctioned list since 1995.
