Florida Lieutenant Governor receives a university post by submitting another key meeting – ktar.com

Tallahassee, Florida (AP), Florida Governor Jeanette Nunys, has been declared the temporary president of the International University of Florida, a move that conveys the governor-restricted Ron Obdis to raise an ally to the powerful position to the President of the President The 202 .

By announcing the appointment on Friday, FIU Board President Roger load said he was directly connected to the landing office to touch Nunys and later had numerous conversations with her.

“I can’t think of a better FIU advocate than two-time graduates from South Florida, who has an attempt to serve in Florida’s legislation and her time as a lieutenant manager,” load said.

This is the last shaking among the best government officials of the country, as Republicans in Florida celebrate jobs in the administration of President Donald Trump and then another chance to cement his influence long after his time in the governor’s estate.

With the appointment to replace Nunys, the landing can give preference to a chosen heir, at a time when rumors of many Trump allies are being watched looking at the governor.

Under the influence of the landing, the councils charged with hiring presidents for public colleges and the universities of the state are increasingly choosing Republican politicians related to its conservative agenda – a model that bothers many students and teachers.

The choice of the second landing commander for the presidential post usually comes with a multi-year six-figure salary contract and a plush residence on the campus-only the latest and most clear example of the Governor’s impact on higher education.

Nuñez is planned to take on the temporary work that led the Public University in its hometown of Miami on February 17 and is expected to win a permanent position after an official search process.

With more than 56,000 students, FIU is one of the largest universities in the country, serving a significant population of Spanish-eating, first generation and low-income students.

Nuñez will inherit President Kenneth Jassel, who spent his career as a professor of finance and university administrator and withdrawn at the beginning of his contract, ending in November.
