Higher Education

This bill moves the USF (University of South Florida) Sarasota-Manatee campus, its buildings, and related debt to New College of Florida, while requiring space so current USF students can finish their degrees there. New USF students could no longer pick that campus after July 2026. It also gives universities more freedom to set out-of-state tuition and fees, which could raise costs for nonresident students, and sets aside money for building upkeep and sex-equality requirements.
