How about someone other than a politician. We've seen how well Sasse was received by the students at Florida. Obviously, that was a political end run made by DeSantis for his reasons, but students and their families are those that pay tuition. People are tired of political schills taking up spots as bastions for higher learning. And before the hardcore conservatives scream foul, remember that former Governor Bob Kerrey was also president of a school, and that was dumb as well. How about educators in those positions who maintain political neutrality on the job.
As you can probably tell, I am a teacher. So tired of politics being something that I have to deal with. My job is to be politically aware, but neutral in my duties as a teacher. Last year, I had a parent tell me how upset they would be when we taught CRT. I told the guy straight up, "I teach third grade, sir. My job is to make sure these kids pick their nose without eating it. We won't be teaching CRT."
