Most commentators see the invitation of #HampshireCollege in #Amherst #Massachusetts to potential transfer students from #NewCollege #Florida as good in itself & good publicity.
Not all agree:
“Who is Hampshire College?” New College of Florida’s Interim President Richard Corcoran asked .... “I am disappointed by their attempt to get free publicity and insert themselves into a narrative of progress and success in liberal arts education here in Florida.”

@CitizenWald wait liberal arts education in Florida? Yeah, not so much anymore. Good for you Hampshire College!
@CitizenWald Many thanks to #Hampshire and other colleges offering an educational refuge for the students of #NewCollege, who have been made unwilling pawns in a dreadful political game. What's happening in Florida is dire; pay attention, people, because that rough beast is slouching toward the national arena, already born and raging. Please be readier than we were. (Apologies to W. B. Yeats)
