All of a sudden, it seems that the presidential search process at FAU has been frozen because a key DeSantis ally, Randy Fine (R-Big Time Asshole) was not selected as a finalist.
Hell, if youre concerned about civility, democracy, and decency anywhere in America you better listen up and pay attention. They are about to do to FAU what they did to New College.

Just days before the three finalists for Florida Atlantic Universitys next president were set to speak at public forums, the search has been stopped in its tracks.
State University System of Florida Chancellor Ray Rodrigues sent a letter to Brad Levine, chairman of both the FAU Board of Trustees and the Presidential Search Committee, citing anomalies that have been alleged in the Florida Atlantic University presidential search. The letter, dated Friday, was posted on social media Friday evening.
The letter said Rodrigues office received concerning information, including that search committee members conducted a straw poll to rank their six preferred candidates out of a list of nearly 60 and that one candidate said a questionnaire asked if his sexual orientation is queer and that another survey asked whether his gender is male, female or other and what pronouns he uses.
The university publicly announced three finalists earlier this week: Vice Admiral Sean Buck, superintendent of the U.S. Naval Academy; Michael Hartline, dean of the College of Business at Florida State University; and Jose Sartarelli, Ph.D., former Chancellor of the University of North Carolina Wilmington. They were set to speak at forums on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday.

(2,275 posts)DeSantis and politically hang him with it. This smacks of corruption, fascism, extremism, and good ol boy politics. It continues the narrative that DeSantis is another dictator trying to control all levels of schooling. Hitler would be proud. He has his fingerprints all over this! He needs to pay a huge political price!
