Donalds Questions Probable University of Florida President Ono Over DEI Position
Congressman and Florida gubernatorial candidate Byron Donalds (R-FL) listed a series of questions Monday that he'd like Dr. Santa J. Ono to answer before being officially ratified as the next president of the University of Florida (UF) by the Florida Board of Governors... READ MORE
Rep. Kathy Castor: Antisemitism is a scourge and has no place in our communities.
I am sending love and support from Tampa Bay.
Jay Collins: Not only must this senseless violence stop, but it’s entirely avoidable.
Americans are suffering the violent consequences of weak leaders and a weak border.
Thankfully, @realDonaldTrump is back in the White House and bringing safety back to the USA! Layla and I continue to pray for those affected and their families.
Senator Rick Scott: I have serious concerns about Santa Ono’s nomination to be the president of the University of Florida, and every single member of the Florida Board of Governors should be demanding answers right now. @UF is a world-renowned institution, and our state’s flagship university that has set a gold standard for fighting antisemitism and protecting Jewish students, and its leadership must follow suit.
Clearly, Ono has a concerning record from his time at the University of Michigan, where he allowed an illegal, pro-terrorist encampment to take over the campus for nearly a month, putting Jewish students in danger and failing to uphold even the most basic standards of leadership. He also has a record of embracing divisive and radical DEI policies, showing he is willing to appease and prioritize far-left activists over ensuring students are protected and receive a quality education.
At a time of rising antisemitism across the country and the world, UF needs and deserves a president who will stand strong against hate, antisemitism and divisive policies and stand with our Jewish students. Any potential president at the school must fully commit to doing so – publicly and proactively.
