How’s that working out? The Alligator, the university’s student-run newspaper, reported this week on the controversial doctor’s tenure.

Ladapo’s work calendar shows monthslong stretches with little or no activity. Instead of attaining grants and conducting research, he spent his first year revising manuscripts and writing his memoir, ‘Transcend Fear,’ which details his skepticism of vaccines. He also promised to bring hundreds of thousands in research dollars from the University of California at Los Angeles, his previous employer. That never happened. ... A review of internal reports and public directories indicate Ladapo hasn’t secured any research grants for UF.

The same report, which has not been independently verified by MSNBC or NBC News, added that Lapado’s classroom contributions have been “sparse”; one of his proposed courses “has yet to materialize”; and there’s “little evidence” that the internal medicine program he was supposed to lead has done meaningful work.

“Although UF leaders initially welcomed Ladapo, issues with absenteeism, funding shortfalls and clashes with colleagues quickly emerged,” the article added. (Ladapo and university representatives didn’t respond to The Alligator's requests for comment.)

Officials can’t say they weren’t warned......

A Florida Department of Law Enforcement report later told policymakers that Ladapo’s views led to “stress and acrimony among his coworkers and supervisors.” Soon after, the GOP-led legislature confirmed the physician anyway at the urging of Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis.

While in office, Ladapo has made a wide variety of radical and potentially dangerous decisions, leading the editorial board of The Washington Post to conclude two years ago, “By playing loose with the facts, Dr. Ladapo ... betrayed the trust of the people of Florida and the nation.”

The University of Florida report, in other words, is striking — but not surprising.
