Solidarity in the Sunshine State!

I just received a message that Florida International University's Faculty Senate passed the following resolution today:

The Faculty Senate of Florida International University expresses its support for the following resolution adopted by the Faculty Senate of Florida State University:

"Be it resolved that we, the members of the Florida State University Faculty Senate, call upon the Presidential Search Advisory Committee not to recommend Senator Thrasher as a candidate for President of FSU. We further call upon the Board of Trustees not to hire Senator Thrasher as the next President of FSU. Senator Thrasher lacks the stated qualifications required for the position, whereas the other three finalists meet those qualifications. We encourage all faculty members to participate fully in the interview process and to submit comments."

Solidarity!
