My reaction was similar: The "libs" aren't pissed because this guy is a progressive. We're pissed because he's qualified for the job and...
Hell, the Father of the Constitution was a bookish nerd lol.
I'll take your word for it. ;) Jumped through every hoop---including signing a contract that promised he would not allow DEI at UF, writing...
I wish you luck landing that argument. A good percentage of Americans seem very comfortable with the centralization of authority and the...
We're living through a second Gilded Age and Redemption. Only way this changes for the better in the short term is if a bunch of people remove...
Well, that's inexcusable. We all know that you're not allowed to change your mind about something. It's why our Board of Governors has always...
Unfortunately, that was largely what the last guy did, and it was a disaster. The university needs real leadership and vision at this moment. But...
Well, let's be frank, they have something very specific that they're looking for in university presidents. Here are some recent hires (off the top...
[IMG] Up is down. Down is up. Dogs are cats. And FSU is the top university in Florida.
And they aren't stopping at chasing away the foreign students who come to America and contribute so much to our economy. They're destroying...
"We refuse to hire a very qualified candidate because he once held views that we dislike, even though he has disavowed them and now agrees with...
You're on the wrong forum. This is a forum for UF supporters, not people who want to destroy the university. I'm sure you can find a forum more...
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...
