"A board overseeing #Florida’s public universities unexpectedly rejected his bid to lead the 60,000-student Gainesville campus. The officials expressed concerns about his leadership at the #UniversityOfMichigan, where he was president, criticizing its sprawling diversity, equity and inclusion program and what they characterized as its failures to curb #antisemitism."

"Dr. Ono’s effort to leap from #Michigan to the red-state higher #education politics of Florida, known for trying to stamp out “woke ideology,” ended with him out of a job and the $1.5 million base salary it came with."

If anyone can help #SantaOno go big on crypto it'd be appreciated.

Karma is undefeated! #santaono is a fraud!

“Ono’s failure should say something else to admin’s who might seek to advance their careers—or, less cynically, just try to protect their own campuses—by playing along w/fed bullying of uni’s. Ono had a long, disting. résumé.
It didn’t help him, because the people who denied him this latest dream job aren’t running uni’s to teach. They’re running them to make a pt. By debasing himself @ their🦶…Ono helped them do exactly that.”https://apple.news/Af7nYNrQmQQCC6VzaoLfK0w

Santa Ono rejected to lead University of Florida after GOP backlash - UPI.com

Former University of Michigan president, Dr. Santa Ono, saw his candidacy to become the next president at the University of Florida rejected Tuesday by the state board of governors amid backlash from Republicans.

UPI
Former University of Michigan (now University of Florida) President Santa Ono is a boot-licking, cowardly, sellout asshole, and I hope he never has a day of peace for the rest of his miserable, treasonous life.

Hey #SantaOno
Before the🚪hits you on your ass as you flee…
The #UofM to your new job in #florida

The kind of tactics used at #UTexasAustin
Are common in #florida.

I wish #michigan could’ve spared our…
Been spared the damage anti-DEI or RACISM…
Done to our #students #faculty & city!

“…the arrests show "the desire of the leadership at UT Austin, the gov's office, & elsewhere, to punish those exercising their 1st Amend rights simply because they disagree w/them."

@blogdiva
Here, here!

This #michigan voter…voted #undecided in our state primary!
We stand with/our family & neighbors.
When you grow up in a college town…regardless if you go to school there, you carry that Uni’s history. Good & bad.
A kid of hippies, who participated in protests on that campus…who protested #apartheid there…
I’m“pissed” at UofM prez #santaono

In MI, & I assume elsewhere, college #regents are elected!
Some up for office this Nov. shall we drop a line?

#vietnamwar had a huge impact on me, even though I was born 1967.
Mom was 22, dad 23. #annarbor ”townies”, both were students & working full time. They were hippies & very involved w/protests taking place on #campus.

As a mom of #college grads, witnessing prez of #UM #SantaOno is insisting on wiping out #freespeech on campus. The Uni has a rich #history of #protest one U of M is proud of!
Have folks forgotten the past? I’ve heard talk of calling in the Nat’l Guard.
Are you FFING KIDDING? 1/2
