Jeb Bush denied honor at U. of Florida


College president ‘tremendously disappointed’ at faculty vote


.... ...the Senate’s action is “unheard of.” ....

“I really don’t feel this is a person who has been a supporter of UF,” Kathleen Price, associate dean of library and technology at the school’s Levin College of Law, told The Gainesville Sun after the vote.

Bush’s approval of three new medical schools during his tenure has diluted resources, Price told the newspaper.

Bush has also been criticized for his “One Florida” proposal, an initiative that ended race-based admissions programs at state universities. ....

2. 40 gun salute to those brave faculty exercising what little independent authority they have left.
