It’s official: Stuart Bell is the University of Florida’s new president—at least in an interim capacity.
Bell is now the third person in the last two years to lead the state’s flagship on an interim basis since former president Ben Sasse stepped down.
The UF Board of Trustees voted unanimously Monday to hire the former University of Alabama president as the university’s next leader despite a torrent of criticism from conservatives who have accused him of pushing a diversity, equity and inclusion agenda at his last stop. The unusual appointment—elevating the sole finalist while the hiring process is still ongoing—is both a rebuke of the Florida Board of Governors and an end run around an effort to halt the hire.
