Absolutely good on him for taking care of his family.
He’s leaving his job, which is head of the university of Florida college university system
Not a Ben Sasse fan but he's doing the right thing and wish his family healing and wellness
Agreed. And I will admit that he did one hell of a job as the president at a once struggling Midland College.
He handled the student riots on the Israel/Palestine issue really well too. He didn't allow the mob to take over the university.
My take: when Sasse was first running for congress, he was a very smart dude who knew history. He had the potential to be a really good congressman. When he got elected, his independence disappeared. He was too conservative for the elites and too elite for the conservatives. Thus, he made everyone mad at him — and had no cache to overcome.
Once he left congress to go to UF, he became independent again. Not surprisingly, he seemed to make reasonable decisions.
