One of the governor’s allies, Richard Corcoran, was recently elected president of New College, where students say DeSantis has carried out a “hostile takeover” of the school’s leadership.
Grace Keenan, the school’s student body president and a voting member on the board of trustees, said Corcoran was clearly the least popular choice for president among students, per Axios. Corcoran’s appointment is the latest step in DeSantis’s mission to rebuild the Sarasota-based New College into a right-wing institution similar to Hillsdale College, a private school in Michigan famous for churning out conservative activists, pundits, and operatives.
Some aggrieved former students have even helped found a breakaway institute online called Alt New College. “With over one third of faculty having left, we’ve started to bring in faculty to keep teaching students in areas under siege, free of political interference,” reads a mission statement on Alt New College’s website. “The founding spirit of New College will live on.” But New College’s current administration has not taken kindly to the spiritual offshoot.
