💨 Abstract
The Florida Board of Governors has appointed three allies of Governor Ron DeSantis as university presidents, raising concerns about political influence in academic leadership. Critics argue this move prioritizes alignment with DeSantis' conservative agenda over academic qualifications. Key appointments include Jeanette Nuñez at Florida International University, Marva Johnson at Florida A&M University, and Manny Diaz at the University of West Florida. Johnson's appointment at FAMU has sparked fears of potential mergers with predominantly white institutions.
