New College of Florida is apparently a public liberal arts college.
That's interesting.

Well, universities are a market. Let's see what kind of people want to
pay for that university's offer.

Gender/Diversity appears to be on the way out for a while. Even
corporations are stepping it back.

Anyway, your average Floridian reads at the 6th grade level, so no loss.
Having fewer books to read means they can go back to their other
pasttimes, such as overdosing on meth and getting shitty tattoos.
