DEVELOPING: New College of Florida dumped hundreds of library books this afternoon.

The school also emptied the college’s Gender and Diversity Center, tossing hundreds of their books.

Working to file a story now.

I’m at New College of Florida for tonight’s commencement ceremony.

Tonight’s 7 p.m. ceremony follows a student-led alternative graduation last night organized in protest of the university’s administration.

Hi,

I’m on the campus of New College of Florida this morning for Gov. Ron DeSantis‘ likely signing of HB 999/SB 266.

Good morning,

I’m out front of Sainer Pavilion at New College where DeSantis appointees to the board of trustees are set to meet with faculty shortly (and students at 1:30)

Follow along for my coverage for the @HeraldTribune: There’s about 80-90 faculty, activists and alumni in line right now. Hearing that they’re capping capacity at 200, and doors just opened.

Quite a crowd gathered in front of the @sarasotaschools district building ahead of the special meeting to discuss the termination of Superintendent Brennan Asplen tonight.
