Several Senators were left speechless after learning that New College of Florida had decided to dump their book in English. The decision came as a shock to many, who had long admired the college for its commitment to academic excellence and diverse curriculum offerings.
The book in question, a collection of essays on American history and politics, had been a staple in the college’s English curriculum for years. Senators who had contributed to the book were proud to see it being used in classrooms across the country, and were dismayed to learn that it had been removed from the curriculum at New College.
According to reports, the decision to ditch the book was made by the college’s English department, which cited a desire to update the curriculum and introduce new materials. While the department did not provide specific reasons for removing the book, some Senators have speculated that it may have been due to political differences or a desire to cater to a more diverse student body.
Whatever the reasons behind the decision, Senators were clearly caught off guard by the news. Many took to social media to express their disbelief and disappointment, with some calling for the decision to be reversed.
One Senator, who wished to remain anonymous, stated, “I am stunned by this decision. This book has been a valuable resource for students and educators alike, and its removal is a disservice to the academic community. I urge New College to reconsider their decision and reinstate the book in their curriculum.”
It remains to be seen whether New College will reconsider their decision in light of the backlash from Senators and other concerned parties. In the meantime, the incident serves as a reminder of the importance of academic freedom and the need to uphold diverse viewpoints in higher education.
