Sad news. He's leaving to care for his wife who has epilepsy.
Ben Sasse leaving FL
- Thread starter Laner2
- Start date
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.
I really don't care where the Sasshole ends up.
Sounds like he’s triggered some around here 😉
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.

On this board, I’ll take “close”. Much appreciated!
He could leave the US and many would be fine with it.
Who stomped on the University of Florida worse? Sasse or Frazier?
Not a sasse supporter but if the alligator is like most universities newspapers, of course they're going to be critical of administration especially when talking cuts.
In this case, sasse was not a popular choice by faculty or students due to his party affiliation. I'll venture to say that the alligator has been anti sasse for quite a while and has been working long and hard against him
How dare he funnel money to conservatives instead of to liberals.
