There is no better time for liberal arts colleges to return to traditional classical education—apps at those colleges that have one are climbing (while colleges pursuing the Woke bandwagon are scrambling).
I'm proud to announce that Gov. Ron DeSantis has appointed me to the Board of Trustees of the New College of Florida.
My ambition is to help the new board majority transform New College into a classical liberal arts institution.
We are recapturing higher education.

Do you have evidence of this? As far as I know, applications to Ivy League, colleges, and Berkeley and Stanford remain strong.

Large public universities are starting to feel it where it hurts too. I am hearing that donations from prominent alums at Penn State are way off, and they’re starting to back off of some of their woke initiatives because of it. We’ll know next summer when the financials come out.

The Homeschool program my daughter is using for her two kids is 'Classical Conversations'... They are Christian oriented and emphasize a classical education. She found it thru her due diligence investigations. She augments it with a Christian oriented extracurricular program

That applies to Churches also --- Bible teaching independent churches are climbing while the 'woke' brands are scrambling

If conservatives represent half the country and have higher college admission rates, WHY are they attending/sending their kids to WOKE colleges. As employers conservatives should quit hiring so many from WOKE colleges!

We here in Durango, CO tried 3 times to get a classical academy during this past year and a half. The woke school board members denied it. Another school dstrct close by denied it too. Until woke school boards and administrators are replaced, it’s very difficult to impossible.

60 years ago, all the major colleges in the US were, in whole or in part, "classical liberal arts institutions". How do you propose to prevent this new "classical liberal arts institution" from eventually following exactly the same path as all the rest?

Hi, Dr. Bauerlein, congratulations on your appointment! I'm a NCF alum (class of 2020) and was a conservative leader on campus in many aspects during my 4 years there. If you're ever looking for support from any alums or want to learn more about how NCF works, I'd love to help!

Outside the clear academic freedom and shared governance issues, do you have any evidence New College is “woke?”

Sorry, this isn’t true. A large percentage of the woke universities went test optional in the name of equity and fairness. Combined with the widespread acceptance of the standard application, woke universities have seen applications soar.
