The Blueprint for Recapturing the Public Universities
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 фев 2023
- I have been working with conservative academics and political leaders to revitalize New College of Florida. Our ambition is to return the institution to its original mission of providing students a “classical liberal arts education.” Left-wing activists have mobilized to stop these much-needed reforms-but we will not back down.

Activist make vague threats over and over and over for anything they don't like to get things shut down. It's amazing to see it not work for once.
I know! It was amazing to watch.
Retired (NOT woke) teacher here. Keep up the good work. A legitimate battle worth fighting is worth fighting well.
I'm a parent of a New College student, and I'm glad you're now there Trustee Rufo.
Also, please help ensure proper funding is provided to the Moot Court and Mock Trial teams at New College (in addition to being a good learning opportunity, those teams provide training to students that will bring the employment/income targets up for graduates of the college as well).
My son will graduate from high school in 2024. He is currently looking at colleges. This is a place I’m sure he’ll be considering now that it’s being run by sane individuals who care more about academic integrity than political ideology.
It seems like the rufo and desantis very much care about political ideology, that is why they are doing this stunt. So its indoctrination if you don't agree with it, but the moment your team calling the shots it academic integrity? Do visit the campus and talk to the professors and students, I'm sure they can tell you thing or two about integrity.
Have him recruit some like minded friends to attend with him
They are going to have to terminate and replace fully 1/3rd of the faculty at this school before it can become a liberal arts institution. As of now, there are not enough faculty on campus who have anything to offer your son to warrant serious consideration of the institution as a place of learning rather than marxist indoctrination.
It only takes a handful of crybullies to shutdown a classroom.
This student with the green hair is “X” Gonzalez, a survivor of the Parkland shooting. She has created a major in “activism” and has openly bragged about not having to take math courses at NCF (this was a statement made during the 2019 discussions regarding the dissolving of the university-I believe the statement was to the Sarasota Herald Tribune.)
@@JT-en9ni This is awful. I can take a wild guess as to who this math teacher was. If I’m correct, I believe he recently retired. Thank you so much for speaking up-it is becoming crucial that more people do that, especially since the school is so intent on conveying the fact that it is “open” to all students. We both know that’s a damn lie. And the sooner they’re called on it, the quicker things can change!
I recognised her. What she needs is a masculine friend who bangs her long and good every day to make her feel right.
my 2c.
Very interesting! Thanks!
So, there were actual discussions about dissolving the college back in 2019? Can you provide any links related to that? Thanks in advance! To be honest, I hadn't been following any news about New College until this latest brouhaha erupted.
For the record, I didn't take math classes at NC, either -- and that was way back in 1969-1974. Math was always my bête noire, so I was glad to be able to avoid it. But clearly, this was NOT a Good Thing, and I should not have been allowed to get away with it.
I majored -- oops, I mean, concentrated -- in Medieval and Renaissance Studies, which was WAY too specialized for someone whose background in general history was as weak as mine. I guess I dealt with all the crazy confusion of the 20th century by immersing myself in the 12th. But it's a miracle that I got a job after graduation!
I did not know that and live in the area. Thanks!
This is the best news I've heard in the last 10 years. FINALLY, sane people go on the offense.
Best of luck to you and all the new trustees, Chris! That this is happening at all is a miracle to me.
I appreciate your work, Mr. Rufo.
Love your professionalism, principled mutual-respect at all times. Good to see someone who can emotionally regulate and avoid temptation to slip into ad-hominem attacks. Keep it up! I hope you stay vigilant and don't let power corrupt you and that you keep the mic open for the left, even if they just decide to yell into it.
Huge fan of everything you do, dude. You’re incredibly well spoken and calm under pressure.
So glad you are on the Job Rufo. Let’s get this one fixed, and start marching through the country!
I'm in awe of what you are doing. I've waited for so long to see someone take ACTION! Thank you! I believe this will set an example for others to follow.
Thank you for your work. Thank you for standing up and not backing down out of fear.
Easier said than done but "Courage" really is the word. Love it. Thanks Chris.
Kudos to you for your courage! You already indicated that the first problem to address is recognizing the propaganda they'll assault you with. Let this spread to all colleges.
Thank you Chris Rufo for not backing down and thank you for the quick progress you are made at the first January Trustees meeting. Looking forward to more progress at the next meeting, You are doing God's work saving this place for the people of Florida and America.
What we need is courage to stand against the bullies and you simply, politely stood your ground. That is why I support your work although I live in the UK. This is a fight back that affects everyone in the west. Our universities are all captured, failing to educate students and indoctrinating them instead in shallow, woke, emotion centred ideologies
This is fucking beautiful. I hope to see this spread to other states including my own
Chris, if this succeeds, you have to train as many people as possible to replicate your success and carry it onward to the rest of the states.
Agreed!
That would be awesome
We need help in Canada too. This stuff is even more out of hand there.
This makes me happy. Thank you to everyone involved in this effort!
So glad you are helping DeSantis and the great USA! Prayers for you.
I vote for Chris Rufo to take over Harvard and Yale.
I second that. ‼ #

One thoughtful step at a time and we get there.
The kids would pop 58%. Cuz 42% leave their still conservative amazingly
Huge fan of you, Christopher Rufo. I'm glad to see another university to add to the list of "safe" schools. There aren't many. University of Dallas, Hillsdale, St. John's, the new University of Austin, Rawlston in Savannah, and a handful of other mostly Christian schools. These schools embrace or will embrace free speech and the tenets of Western Civilization. Universities used to be the "marketplace of ideas". I hope more university administrators will see the light. Godspeed, to you and your team, Mr. Rufo and to the good governor of Florida.
Having attended a christian college, I find it interesting that you think they embrace free speech. On the campuses of many religious colleges you are not allowed freedom of expression, if you say the wrong thing or dress the wrong way you can be expelled. The marketplace of ideas you speak of is more like unwavering obedience to authority and fidelity to collective agreement on mythological "absolute truth" not to mention adherence to certain political beliefs.
Keep religion out.
@@mpf5381 most of the colleges the OP listed are private religious schools so keeping religion out is a ridiculous expectation.
Thank goodness the grown ups are back in charge.
Why did you choose a Christian college then?
It's tough to stand up to these hysterical children and brainwashed zealots but it has to be done.
It’s tough to stand up to them because instead of debating you, they just amass in a mob and scream at you.
Love how you summarily dealt with those old lady Marxists. Safety indeed!
I hate to say it, but that gal even *looked* like a Karen.
Christoper, if Governor DeSantis becomes President DeSantis, please run for and win Florida's governorship. We need a governor, like DeSantis, with the integrity and the stones to get this CRT/Wokeism out of our public universities and high schools. Enough is enough. I may even enroll in a class at New College just to get a front row seat!!
I hope New College ends up offering non-credit online courses to interested adults, following the Hillsdale model. I would definitely take one!
I've got to tell you, it was so refreshing to hear your response to that university President's melodramatic, "there's a light inside you", teary eyed nonsense. That kind of absurdly emotional pleading has been treated with deference for far too long. It deserves to be waved aside like the embarrassing, unprofessional babbling that it is.
Exactly! And it is directed to a mass of people not individuals- just revealing the complete insincerity of the saccharine performance.
This New College alumna thanks you!
Yay! Me too!
As a student, I feel the same! Thanks for publicly voicing your support!
@@jessehudson7036 You are so welcome! I am thrilled by what's happening at New College. My son teaches at a classical charter academy, and I know from his experience that classical education is a wonderful model. It's about as far from "fascist" or "white supremacist" as it's possible to get. 🤦♀
Completely agree with your notion of overseeing the university. Politicians are hired by the people to govern and manage affairs. If university administrators damage the traditional functions of universities, DeSantis and yourself need to step in.
You have my admiration and utmost respect, Mr Rufo. What you and the good governor are doing is nothing short of heroic given the weight and fury of the tide that is raging against you. Keep up the good work, sir!
It must have been very tempting to let it collapse, and then rebuild under a new mandate. Might have spooked some of the other institutions tho. If the change managers can demonstrate that reform is possible without going scorched earth, it might undercut some of the resistance elsewhere.
“I don’t know what you’re saying behind your mask, but you’re wrong” -Rufo at the BoT meeting
You don't see anything wrong with our colleges in Americas?
@@willtopower2158 Yes, i think they should be vegan
Let this be a Model for all Colleges pushing ideology instead of Education
Just looking at that green haired girl tells me all I need to know about the accuracy of her words. Which is zero.
I haven't been this inspired in a looooong time. God bless Chris and DeSantis.
Amazing how quickly bullying can retreat into victimhood. Lesson learned.
I am so proud of you for fighting for our children and country. God bless you journey and anyone else that stands for good.
Excellence! The courage to deliver open inquiry and debate.
Awesome!
DeSantis and Rufo -I love how you are breaking new ground and creating a more truly diverse environment where voices from every persuasion and ideology can be heard. I will pray for this endeavor of yours that it is very successful. It will be a light for the rest of the nation.
Rufo is exactly the right choice for this job. Go for it, man!!!
Would give anything to send my daughter there. I will be making inquiries ASAP. Putting her future in God’s hands. Thank you for doing this. Support from Arizona. ❤️🇺🇸🙏🏼
Here here! Finally, someone with a spine! Turn this dumpster fire of a college around and make the process a blueprint to reform the system!
Amen.
Great work Chris. Truly. How to deploy this widely?
Outstanding!
They should do this with Evergreen college in Washington state.
Not before they have a Republican Governor with the balls of Ron de Santis.
@@saltburner2 Inslee is the exact opposite of DiSantis so it will never happen
Well we need to fix that in the next election. Might be hard with all mail in ballots, but Inslee needs to go!
Education over indoctrination
Get a restraining order against her
The student speakers compares the # of death on her campus with the # in the state and thinks they're doing better? She doesn't even understand the concept of percentage.
She is so dumb. She said millions of people died of covid in Florida. [The actual number was not high when you look at all the elderly in Florida]. The only way that could have millions is if all the covid deaths were in Florida. Ron DeSantis covid policy was so good that kids only missed 3 months of school, the economy was not shut down and we gained a million new residents during that period of time.
That crossed my mind, too! LOL!!!
Twenty years ago, USF-Sarasota would hold classes in New College's buildings when they weren't in use otherwise. I remember taking a Saturday-morning class, and on break going over to New College's cafeteria to get some coffee. The New College kids, being residential, were going through the line to get breakfast.
There were maybe two dozen of them--and none of them were wearing shoes. I'm not saying they were bad students, or bad people. (It's not like I got a chance to talk to them.) I just think it's funny that they all chose to be non-conformist, in the exact same way.
"Now witness the firepower of this fully armed and operational battle station."
Can't wait to see it!
Chris, will you please come to Canada? Thank you for the work you are doing to bring back accountability and excellence in education and to what it means to be a "responsible adult" in today's world.
Yes! He could start with Wilfred Laurier...
Regarding institutions/ corporations going through reforms....if only people knew how disruptive the merger was between United and Continental Airlines. Yes, it's NORMAL for things to be uncomfortable for a while.
Wow. Well done. This is the way forward. Onwards!
The outgoing president sounded like she was addressing a group of grade school children. The university system should be educating adults.
This is near where I live in SW Florida - it was so far left they did not even have a grading system for students, which is bad. Hopefully the new blueprint will set a precedent for other public universities. As a bonus, New College is located right next to one of my favorite museums, Ringling.
‼ Make sure you share this video. ‼
I love this ❤ bring this to Canada 🇨🇦 please 🙏
By this logic anything can be shut down upon vague "safety" concerns. These bureaucrats are usually easily frightened.
Wow, man, that was the most epic thing I've ever seen. Incredibly inspiring.
I'm sure there are some level-headed, mentally tough, and emotionally stoic female college provosts out there, but I suspect they are few and far between. The simple fact is they are wired to care about safety disproportionately, and in her case, she can feel her queen bee throne starting to crumble beneath her and no one likes losing power, because they see themselves as always benign and beneficial, they are incorruptible. Very encouraging to see you and the others stand up to them and refuse to just do as you're told. Nothing succeeds like success and when other colleges see success, they'll fall in line faster than they ever thought they would. Many are secretly sick and tired of the totalitarianism the woke young wield ruthlessly. The faster we rid ourselves of marxism, in all its guises and forms, the sooner America will heal.
“New College” through supporting open and free inquiry…derived from principles related to The Enlightenment…thus becomes “Old College”
Fantastic idea 💡
"Gynocentric Safetyism"
I was struck by that, too. The whole thing has such a distinctly female quality to it. It's all emotional manipulation, appeals to safety and sympathy, the attacks are all reputation assassination... it's strange.
I am all for gynocentricism when it comes to having the demo speaker getting a boyfriend who bangs her until she can no longer walk. Every day. I think most of these broads are underserved and need some hard loving. Make them feel appreciated and content.
Well done, you're welcome in the UK anytime!
Way to go! Clean house!
Keep it up! Thank you
So true- if we don't teach our youth then we fail as a society. As a university instructor I believe the job of teachers is to help students learn how to become critical thinkers so they can become strong leaders in what ever their life choices are.
Benjamin Franklin...something about security and liberty...

Awesome and inspiring~

Its really fascinating - the "uniform" of the typical crazies grown up in a single feminist mother household is really universal all over the world. And mostly also "brainwashed" in our Universities.
Saw now alot of times exactly this Stereotypes glueing themselfs on our Streets ^^
(Greetings from Vienna)
Keep up the good work.
I hope I am hearing the lapping of the first waves of a turning tide! Power to you!
If that provost is that domineering to the board members she reports to, imagine how tyrannical she could be to students under her authority.
I’m a student here-many people privately find her incompetent. I hope she’ll be gone soon.
@@jessehudson7036 She was the person whom I would talk to when the threats were happening. She gave me an open door and listened, but nothing changed. The student who posted the death threat to us on The Forum was not expelled, but allowed to interact with me in close proximity despite my protestations and was permitted to openly deride me in class, with me having no ability to respond.
@@michellecalhoun2527 Oh my gosh. That is horrible.
This is incredible! Thank you for presenting this event and including these clips which certainly reveal the ridiculous, outlandish and anti academic climate that is at this institution! What a mission you are on here and I am so very hopeful and grateful to you, Christopher Rufo, and for all who are involved in this endeavor!!
It's wilder than even the board meeting showed. Change is long overdue.
This is incredible. Well done mr Rufo. It will be interesting watching this project roll out and seeing how this thing can work.
Chris is a true patriot. Destined to become a legend.
Once again: as a student here, thank you!
Hey Jesse Hudson - you seem like a normal person. How did you survive at NCF? My son felt like he was shunned, ostracized and ignored by professors. It's a small place and once he was identified as a conservative all his professor knew and made him feel unwelcome. Fellow students were a bunch of weirdos with no internal motivation. The classes were not very structured and he felt like no one really got any kind of benefit from the program. The performance report were biased so a well liked low performer would get a good report from a professor who like the student and a high performer who was not liked may get an average report. I think the lack of a grade probably created problems and made this situation significantly worse than if you lived by a grade and not personality. This whole indoctrination might not have ever become a problem if grades were based on test scores and not on some professors feelings about a student.
@@JT-en9ni Yikes!!! So sorry!
And yes, I agree, evaluations could be so subjective, biased, and even cruel -- far more devastating than a simple letter grade would have been.
When I was there, back at the height of the Hippie Era, there was one professor who was very friendly toward conservative students: historian Lee Daniel Snyder. There may have been others, too, but Dr. Snyder was my go-to. He has since passed away, alas.
I can't imagine having *no* professors or classmates with open minds and hearts. Your poor son!
@@dianekamer8341 everyone, give me just a bit and I’ll reply in full. I’ve been dealing with accusations of “fascism” and being a “rube” and, for the sake of my sanity (and math work) have momentarily stepped away from my phone. But I’d like to reiterate just how crucial your testimonies are and just how much they’re sincerely appreciated. Knowing that other people have felt and experienced the same has been very helpful to me!
How will you regulate the professors from teaching marxism? Love the work you guys are doing.
There should be a vetting process for the professors
Great video
I'm afraid,stupidity will have to learn through brutality about facts not
caring about feelings.
G-d bless you and what you do!
Well said, Chris!
Not all heroes wear capes.
fantastic presentation Chris!!!!!
Wow, amazing. Congratulations to your initial results!
The hyenas have taken charge & when hyena-provost Sherman told the lion to shut down, the lion finally said, “No…”
I watched the board meeting on Karlyn Borysenko's channel. It was awesome and I highly recommend it.
I was thrilled to finally get to tell people what was really going on there! Her channel is great.
@@michellecalhoun2527 Your input brought it over the top.
@@dawnerickson7199 I just really want to help fix it.
Can you provide a link? (I can look it up, of course -- d'oh!) But if you have a link handy, I would be most grateful.

"We are closing this building."
NO.
She fell thunderously, and her armor clattered about her.
*Might I suggest a Great Books/core curriculum a la U of Chicago and a partnership/exchanges with Ralston College up in Savannah, GA.*
Also something to consider: advanced votech - votech schools and community colleges teach the basics, but New College could offer the classroom hrs for master electrician, carpenter, plumber, etc. Plus the blue collar students would be a taming influence on campus.
All excellent suggestions.
I hope thry receive serious consideration.
Chris Rufo , WARRIOR !
Keep it up and stay on target!
God bless you guys! It’s amazing how clear it is to see the truth here. One side uses emotion and various logical facilities, e.g., ad hominem attacks) as they arguments and intent. The other uses logic and compassion mixed with duty to leadership (DeSantis directive.)
My understanding is that Hills Dale is a conservative-ish college in Michigan. If correct, would they be a model to start with?
Awesome sauce
If you haven't already, you should give Benjamin Boyce's channel a look. He did great work on Evergreen and the Brett Weinstein debacle. Really good stuff.
Boyce is great.
I'll add viewing of Mike Naya's channel and documentary is also very helpful. Ben Boyce did excellent work chronicling the downfall of Evergreen. A textbook study of the desent of a university.
@@christopherrufo If there were more Chris Rufos and Benjamin Boyces in the PNW, I would still be there. But I was in Seattle and the walls of the asylum were closing in on me. Thanks for the heroic work you do. I broke the piggy bank to see you in Palm Beach, and it was well worth it.
Better still, hire Brett and Heather (unless you think them too left wing!)
His channel is how I personally survived NCF! It was all because I understood the situation at Evergreen. Bless him.
Terrific! Good luck: it'll certainly take hard work.
I want to help please. I graduated in May of 2021. Please let me know how I can assist. I feel like my voice as a veteran and moderate should be heard. I went through quite a bit. Thank you!
I had my own death threats. That is like a 'welcome to NCF' that anyone who disagrees receives.
Oh my goodness 😳poor you! I will send you an email. Are you registered with the alumni association? I'm on the NCAA board and I want to share what happened to you. When I was there it wasn't crazy like this.
@@carolyna.869 No I'm not, but I'll look into it. I'm in touch with several other alumni, though we recently lost one, a very lovely man who shared my concerns for the college.
@@carolyna.869 My membership is now pending in the group. I've been staying out of it, but I think now's the time to say my piece. I saw enough to give me grave concerns about the directions it's been headed. All of the things which are currently being pointed out in the media are things which I was trying to bring attention to years ago. I didn't want to see NCF go the way of its sister college, Evergreen State.
Please help us-it’d be very appreciated. We need more people to voice the real situation occurring at NCF. This current board is like a breath of fresh air! (A student).
Heroic!
Shut down Der Wokenvolkstasi while it is still possible. This is a great example of how that is done!
They just can't accept that people think differently than them.
