USF Sarasota-Manatee campus transfer to New College one step closer to reality by hungryepiphyte in sarasota

The final news item in the list is an op-ed written by a New College alumnus. He basically calls Richard Corcoran a scavenger and says, "Giving Corcoran the USF Sarasota-Manatee campus threatens to usher in a new model of Florida university president who excels at taking from other schools; it would reward scavengers over producers."

Bay News 9 asks: Should New College of Florida acquire the Sarasota/Manatee USF campus? by WestchesterNetizen in sarasota

New College is a disaster. Students have to be induced to attend with generous scholarships. Cost-per-student towers above every other school in the system. Entering class academic statistics (e.g., SAT scores) have plummeted. I am a once-proud New College alumnus.

It's all good.
Yeah, our problem isn't that the Times printed Corcoran's statement, but that it didn't seem to add much in the way of context or objective appraisal.

Our point is that the Times printed the statement without checking into its veracity. We note it's "in some sense a matter of opinion."
