@alelliott88 This isn’t even the lowest point in 2001. Nickelback had the No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 for four weeks that year.

Categorically is misspelled…
FLORIDA@UF

The University of Florida was copied this week on a letter that included allegations related to its presidential search process, including the false assertion that UF violated state law to avoid public transparency in selecting a presidential search finalist.     That allegation is categorially untrue.     The University of Florida has complied fully with both Florida law and the regulations established by the Board of Governors throughout every stage of this presidential search.    Florida’s presidential search framework intentionally establishes a two-phase process.  In the first phase, state law expressly requires confidentiality for applicants and search committee deliberations.  Committee members sign non-disclosure agreements, and candidate interviews, discussions, and the selection process are legally required to be conducted outside of the public view.  The law further provides that while a finalist may be publicly announced, information regarding other candidates and committee deliberations remain confidential.      This framework was adopted for a reason: without confidentiality, many of the nation’s most qualified candidates simply would not participate in public university searches. Florida’s process reflects a deliberate policy choice by the Legislature and the Board of Governors to ensure universities can attract the strongest possible candidates while still providing robust public scrutiny of finalists.    The second phase of the process, the phase now underway, is entirely public.    The search finalist, Dr. Stuart Bell will participate in public forums open to faculty, students, staff, the public and the media.  Members of the community will have the opportunity to ask questions on a wide range of topics, including Dr. Bell’s positions and leadership decisions regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.    In addition to these forums, the Board of Trustees will interview Dr. Bell at a public meeting.  If selected as president-elect, the Florida Board of Governors will interview Dr. Bell at a public confirmation hearing.  Both hearings are open to the public, including students, faculty, staff, the public and the media.     Reasonable people may hold differing views regarding any candidate. But it is wrong to suggest that UF circumvented the law or operated outside the bounds of transparency established by the State of Florida.  The University followed the exact process required under Florida law, a process designed to both protect the integrity of the search and ensure meaningful public accountability.    The University of Florida remains fully committed to selecting a president who will advance UF’s trajectory as one of the nation’s premier public research universities while remaining aligned with the values, priorities, and laws of the State of Florida.    We encourage all interested members of the UF community to participate in the public forums and public meetings ahead.

FUN FACT FRIDAY: New head hoops coach has already won a championship at Polk State Announced as the new head man of Polk State Basketball last week, longtime NBA center Marreese Speights hopes to bring the program a lot to celebrate during his tenure. Speights, however, has already has won a title and he did so in Polk State College's gymnasium. In 2023, Speights' postgraduate program, Team Speights, won a state championship -- the Florida Sun Basketball Conference title. Led by MVP Andre Wright, Team Speights took down Wellmont Academy for the postgraduate crown at the Health Center on the Winter Haven Campus. While Speights hopes to bring championships to Polk State, winning titles is nothing new for the former first-round pick. As a player, he helped the University of Florida win a second straight NCAA Division I national championship during the 2006-07 season. He also helped the Golden State Warriors defeat the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2015 NBA Finals.
