On Presidents and Politics

I'm the new President of the United Faculty of Florida and an associate professor at Florida State University. I began this blog when I was UFF-FSU President as a way to provide information regarding the 2014 FSU presidential search and the actions of the Florida Legislature. I will continue to discuss the Florida Legislature as well as other Higher Education issues that affect faculty in Florida. My comments are my own.

Finally, an application

The Tampa Bay Times posted Senator Thrasher's cover letter and resume this evening. The article and links to the documents can be found here: http://www.tampabay.com/blogs/the-buzz-florida-politics/john-thrasher-makes-it-official-applies-for-fsu-presidency/2182071

The cover letter in particular is an interesting read, especially when you compare Senator Thrasher's letter to his record. A new website, resetthesearch.org, provides information about the Senator's voting record and his support for the elimination of tenure for K-12 teachers, among other issues.
