U. of Florida faculty revolt over Sen. Ben Sasse pick as school prez, issue no-confidence vote
NY Post ^ | October 28, 2022 | Selim Algar

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.

Judging by the signs, their main gripe is that he isn’t on board with the homosexual agenda.

There is a faculty union at U of Florida, but its membership is thin because Florida is a right to work state and does not permit forced union membership or agency shop dues requirements.

Yeah although UF has a faculty that is fives times bigger then the total enrollment at Midland College...oh, now they say they’re a University...

I don’t know why UF wants him so bad but since his chances of failure are high, I’m all for it.

I was in college at the same time. It would be fun to go back and bait and engage and counter-protest these people. Otherwise I think being in college today would be a frustrating and suffocating experience. My college was liberal, not leftist, and that meant that true diversity of opinion and freedom of expression were supported, and most of the lunatic creeds and identify politics that dominate things today hadn’t even been imagined.

Serves him rights. Ben Sasse is nothing more than a RINO whimp...spent years stabbing the base in the back...now no one wants him

DTTTTTTTTTT All.
Thats 1D10T’s for the Pol Sci and Liberal Arts Majors.

Now it’s all about tuition and retention instead of knowledge and education.

I love the “keep the state out of our swamp sign”.
First the school belongs to the people of Florida, not the out of state party hounds, and second I’m sure that the sign holder didn’t earn the money to pay for her classes, room , and board.

Ugh... She was at UMW before the Clinton administration and at Miami (for a long time) after. Thanks for the correction.

People like Sasse need to learn that the lefty progs still will not ever like you even if you are mean and nasty to your political party.

Well, I remember Miami being a doormat just prior to the arrival of Jim Kelley. It’s not like I have a lot of sympathy for a program that racked up the National Championships the ‘U’ cranked out.

1) I dislike Sasse intensely, and would love to see home end his days as a drug addicted, homeless, male homo prostitute....

2) What is with employees these days, thinking they have a right to dictate to management?

Now Miami is trying to buy players to play in their empty stadium.

For you non Gators here, this happened a while ago. The Faculty - as at any large university, are a bunch of commies.

Of course, I share their disgust with Sasse but for exactly the opposite reason. Anyway, this is just a talk shop. It has no power. Nobody listens to them.
