🏫 The state board overseeingFlorida's university system yesterday rejected Santa Ono as the next president of the University of Florida. (Tampa Bay Times)
The 10-6 vote came after intense conservative criticism of Ono's past stances on diversity, equity and inclusion.
UF's Board of Trustees last week unanimously approved Ono as president. Yesterday's vote marks the first time in its 22-year history the state board has overturned a university's presidential pick.
