U. of Florida faculty revolt over Sen. Ben Sasse pick as school prez, issue no-confidence vote

University of Florida faculty members have issued a no-confidence vote in the selection of Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) as the SEC school’s next president.

UF’s Faculty Senate held an emergency meeting Thursday night and railed against the administration’s decision to make Sasse the sole finalist for the role.

The group voted 72-16 in favor of the no-confidence declaration, and called for school brass to more fully explain why the lawmaker emerged as their top choice.

While not binding, the tally could complicate Sasse’s appointment, which was considered a formality at this stage.

The university’s Board of Trustees unanimously voted to name Sasse their only finalist earlier this month, and he was expected to win the appointment after formal interviews next month.

That’s what happens when you go against Trump, you wind up in “No Man’s Land”.

The Board of Trustees should tell them they are welcome to leave Gainesville and seek positions at any other institute of higher learning.

I doubt many of the faculty are Trump supporters nor squishy RINOs either.

It has nothing to do with Trump. He has a “R” at the end of his name, no matter how liberal he is.

Nobody complained when Donna Shalala got the gig at University of Wisconsin.

Exactly, so now he burned the bridges with the people who could have supported him.

Ignorant children being indoctrinated by clueless marxist tools.

Parents would have been better served just burning all that tuition money.

I am not a Sasse fan, but I hope he is installed because we can no longer allow leftist punks to call the shots in our institutions.

“That’s what happens when you go against Trump, you wind up in “No Man’s Land”.”

Yep. At least if he were MAGA, he’d have some friends. Instead he joins the Dems - but all they see is an “R” next to his name and, literally, NOTHING else matters to them.

True, but she had been a college president previous to that appointment.
