New College, Rufo dodge trial as watchdog gives up records hunt, calls for criminal investigation
By Daniel Ducassi, FloridaBulldog.org
The watchdog group that pursued a two-year long public records lawsuit against New College of Florida and various trustees appointed by Gov. Ron DeSantis has abandoned its effort to extract records documenting the ideological takeover of the school in January 2023, now claiming there are no records left to pursue.
New College of Florida and the Florida Center for Government Accountability (FLCGA) signed a settlement on May 8 in which the school agreed to pay $125,000 for the center’s attorney fees and costs while admitting no wrongdoing. The school also agreed to provide phones to trustees to conduct public business along with additional transparency training.
