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.

Guns on Campus will be heard Monday
On Monday, February 16, the Senate Criminal Justice Committee will hear SB 176, which would allow persons over 21 years of age who have a concealed weapons permit to carry their weapon on college and university campuses. The Committee meets from 4-6pm in 37 Senate Office Building. I encourage those who are concerned about this bill to plan to testify at this committee meeting. If you are unable to do so but want to have your voices heard, you can contact the members of the Senate Criminal Justice Committee.
