Aaron Hillegass protested DeSantis' alleged attempt to transform the college into a 'Hillsdale of the South.'
Aaron Hillegass has worked at New College—a public liberal arts institution in Sarasota, Florida—since November 2022, according to his LinkedIn profile. His role has been to recruit students and professors, help students find jobs after leaving school, and teach machine learning. On April 8, he offered his resignation, decrying alleged attempts to transform the school into the"Hillsdale of the South.
In his letter, Hillegass protested DeSantis' alleged moves to transform New College into a new Hillsdale, stating that the Michigan school is"bad for America" because it"cultivates prejudice" towards minorities, the LGBTQ+ community, and non-Christians. He added:"The nation is watching this experiment. If it is successful, the academic freedom of every state school under a conservative governor will be in peril. I love New College, but for the good of our nation, I hope the school fails miserably and conspicuously."
