Thursday. “Governor DeSantis has tasked us with something that has never been done: institutional recapture. If we are successful, the effort can serve as a model for other states.”Mark Bauerlein, a fellow conservative and recent appointee to New College’s board, distanced himself from Rufo, however, saying he’ll take a different approach.
