A message from Rahul Patel, Chair, Presidential Search Advisory Committee and Vice Chair, UF Board of Trustees:
"Letโs be clear. By Chairman Levineโs own admission, this delay has nothing to do with Dr. Bell. A unanimously selected presidential candidate and the State of Floridaโs flagship university are being drawn into a dispute unrelated to his candidacy. That is unfair to Dr. Bell and harmful to the University of Florida and the students, faculty, alumni, and supporters we are entrusted to serve.
Equally concerning is that a decision of this magnitude has been made unilaterally rather than by the full Board of Governors. Delaying consideration of the unanimously approved president designate of Floridaโs flagship university is a consequential action that should be decided by the Board of Governors as a body, not by a single individual acting alone.
The University of Florida cannot afford to remain in limbo while these matters are addressed. Accordingly, within the coming week, the Board of Trustees will meet to consider naming Dr. Bell Interim President so that the university can continue moving forward while this issue is addressed."
