The stalled search for the new president of Florida Atlantic University is causing conflict on the school’s Board of Trustees as well as threats by major donors to stop giving to the university. Tuesday’s meeting of the trustees, held via videoconference, was the first since the State University System’s Board of Governors suspended the presidential search July 7 to investigate alleged “anomalies,” including the use of a straw poll to narrow candidates and a voluntary diversity survey by a search firm that asked questions about applicants’ sexual orientation and gender identity. The meeting revealed a clear rift between the board’s chairman, Brad Levine, and vice chairwoman, Barbara Feingold, both of whom are appointees of Gov.

Days of Alabama, Georgia dominating SEC and college football are over | Commentary
South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Saturday - 01/04/2025 - 06:00 PM
It’s over, Georgia. It’s over, Alabama. Your dominant, dynastic days of ruling the SEC and reigning over college football are a relic of days gone by.
