The University of Florida (UF) Board of Trustees voted unanimously Wednesday afternoon to install Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse as its 13th president.
Sasse’s final interview started at 10 a.m. and concluded at 2 p.m.
12 people spoke for the public comments portion of the meeting. All but one condemned the appointment of Senator Sasse as UF’s president. …
Sasse’s confirmation has been hounded by weeks of protests and leftist opposition as Campus Reform previously reported. 300 protesters shut down a public forum with the Senator at Emerson Hall on campus in early October and a petition with 1,200 signatures has been passed around campus to remove the conservative senator from the selection process.
[Congratulations to Senator Sasse, and kudos to UF for refusing to knuckle under to the protesters. — Ed]
