The College of the Florida Keys dismissed President Jonathan Gueverra last week in a surprise move by the Board of Trustees that may have violated state sunshine laws, Keys Weekly reported.

Local media reported that the board voted 6 to 0, with one member absent, to terminate Gueverra’s contract, effective immediately. Board members said that Gueverra, who had been president since 2012, had lost the confidence of the board and accused him of insubordination.

Gueverra has up to 15 days to request an administrative hearing to challenge his termination.
