RON DESANTIS IS NOT FOOLING AROUND: New College President Okker terminated by Board of Trustees.

The New College Board of Trustees has voted to terminate the contract of President Patricia Okker.

Trustees also voted to appoint former Florida House speaker and Florida Commissioner of Education Richard Corcoran as interim president. . . .

The vote came after a tense meeting in which new conservative board members moved to terminate Okker’s contract. The new board members insisted they were here to change the board’s structure.

The board offered to hold off on abolishing the school’s Office of Outreach and Inclusive Excellence, instead opting to terminate four positions within the office.

Okker made remarks prior to her removal saying the school educates and does not indoctrinate, “You can not ask me to go forward and argue that we are indoctrinating students here.” She also described the newly appointed trustees as a “hostile takeover.”

By the people of Florida.

Reminder: Just a few days ago, New College provost Suzanne Sherman tried to block an event with new trustees Chris Rufo and Eddie Speir. I wonder how long she’ll be around.
