The University of Florida Board of Trustees on Tuesday unanimously approved U.S. Sen. Ben Sasse as the panel's pick to be the school's next president, as the Nebraska Republican pledged to practice “political celibacy” if he ultimately gets the job.
The University of Florida Board of Trustees on Tuesday unanimously approved U.S. Sen. Ben Sasse as the panel's pick to be the school's next president, as the Nebraska Republican pledged to practice “political celibacy” if he ultimately gets the job.
Protesters gathered outside the UF Board of Trustees meeting to consider the selection of Dr. Ben Sasse as the university's 13th president Tuesday morning, chanting "get him out." Sasse has drawn criticism from some at the school for his stance on same-sex marriage and other LBGTQ issues.
