It's especially stupid because (as I imagine you know) the FL BOG was fully behind DEI until 2023. They even issued a memo in 2020 requiring the...
UWF too. DeSantis appointed some cranks to their BOT, had them push out the university president (despite strong metrics), and then appointed...
I'm a stubborn SOB. If I were on the BOT, I'd tell the BOG that we're not doing another search. They can confirm Ono or do the search themselves.
This is something to note for later: Ono blocked as University of Florida’s next president by state board Board member Charles Lydecker said that...
Sad thing is, if they win the culture war, they'll be screwing our state's future. But that's the unfortunate result of politicians who don't care...
The law school has had an interim dean for over two years. That isn't to throw shade at her. She's doing her best and is a very bright person. But...
Why would any university president agree to come when the BOG might pull the rug out from under them and leave them without a job? At this point,...
I don't see Ono having that sort of dignity. The man has bent over backwards to demonstrate that he's a yes man for these people. If they reverse...
One would hope. But I'm not sure where we go from here. Absent the BOG reversing course, I don't see how you put this genie back in the bottle.
All one has to do is take one look at who has been hired at other Florida universities and who is in charge of the federal agencies to know that...
I assume Lamb voted for Ono. Is that right? I've always wondered why that dude has chosen to be front and center in these culture wars, given his...
I doubt it. If DeSantis was willing to go to the mat on this one, he'd have told his cronies on the BOG what to do behind the scenes.
Many of these people have decided that they want to destroy higher education because of their pathetic, petty, little grievances. Doesn't matter...
Absolute idiocy from a bunch of stupid partisan hacks. They've guaranteed that no serious candidate will want this job. Who is going to leave...
I've largely stopped posting in here because I don't believe I have the capacity to have a civil conversation with anybody who is happy with what...
Gets a say over what? The students are receiving a loan that they have to pay back with interest. I received a loan to buy my house. The company...
I'd love to return to a time when a university president's politics didn't matter because there was agreement across the political spectrum about...
This confirms what I figured the man to be: Why I Chose University of Florida, by Santa Ono (opinion) Am I a fan of his? No. Is he the best we...
It should have never gone this far. It was bad enough that he tried to change the rules AFTER people voted and the election results came in. But...
Ah, my bad. I did misunderstand you.
