Sign Petition: Show Solidarity with UWF Leadership

Rick Outzen January 14, 2025

The new Univesity of West Florida Board of Trustees holds its first meeting on Thursday, Jan. 23, at 10 a.m. Most of the new picks have little or no relationship with the university or the community. The meeting will be via Zoom, so they don’t have to visit the Pensacola campus before voting on the university’s future.

Here are their duties:

Hire and fire the university president.
Set the president’s salary and employment conditions.
Develop a strategic plan for the university.
Develop a university budget.
Set tuition within legislative parameters.
Approve new and terminate existing academic programs up to the doctoral level.
Establish student codes of conduct.
Administer university personnel programs.
Govern admission of students.
Administer intercollegiate athletic programs.

We know what happened at the New College of Florida. Inweekly will not sit silently and watch history repeat on Jan. 23.

I ask that you sign and share this online petition. I will email to the trustees. Thank you.

I hope that you take your responsibilities seriously and follow faculty recommendations on decisions that affect them, our students, and the community. Dr. Susan James is a trusted leader to so many in the world of reading and education. Please seek her advice for decisions on such topics.
