State lawmakers have decided not to pursue significant expansion plans for New College of Florida, including a merger with a University of South Florida branch and transfer of the Ringling Museumâs stewardship. These controversial proposals met resistance from community members and legislators, citing financial mismanagement and insufficient local input. Governor Ron DeSantis's attempts to reshape the liberal arts institution into a conservative entity have also faced criticism. As the legislative session extends, these proposals are officially considered dead for this term, highlighting the challenges of negotiations around educational governance in Florida.
The proposals to merge New College of Florida with a USF branch and transfer stewardship of the Ringling Museum are not being considered this legislative session.
There has been significant backlash from community members and local lawmakers against the expansion plans, emphasizing a lack of community input and financial concerns.
