Which college is signing Trump’s compact?
New College of Florida is set to become the first university to sign the Trump HE compact, aligning with many provisions already. The college emphasises merit-based admissions, free speech, and keeping tuition and fees low, while removing DEI programmes. Since Governor DeSantis appointed a conservative board, the college has implemented curriculum and staffing changes. While 11 universities have rejected the compact, New College positions itself as a leading institution in adopting the proposed policy.
