Trustees call Santa Ono the ‘right person’ to lead University of Florida
May 22, 2025
'Recently, a handful of external voices have sought to question Dr. Ono’s alignment with Florida’s vision for higher education,' the trustees wrote in an email to alumni.

Mori Hosseini is fiercely defending Santa Ono, the controversial lone finalist for the open University of Florida president job.

“He is the right person to accelerate UF’s upward trajectory and help make it the undisputed leader among America’s public universities,” Hosseini, who chairs the UF Board of Trustees, and Trustee Vice Chair Rahul Patel wrote in an email Thursday to alumni. “The Search Committee unanimously selected Dr. Ono because of his exceptional academic credentials, his principled leadership, and his demonstrated ability to drive meaningful, positive change. He is a builder — and the University of Florida is on the move. UF has never had more momentum.”

They called Ono “one of the most respected academic leaders in the world.”...

In their email to Gator Nation Thursday, the UF trustees rebutted the narrative that Ono is too liberal to lead Florida’s flagship university.

“Recently, a handful of external voices have sought to question Dr. Ono’s alignment with Florida’s vision for higher education. Dr. Ono is not shifting his views to fit Florida. He has been evolving his perspective over time — before UF ever approached him about this role,” their email said. “He brings a decisive break from the progressive orthodoxy that has gripped too many elite campuses — one that UF has resisted and risen above. He recognized the toll that ideological excess was taking — on campus culture, academic standards, and institutional trust — and made a clear and courageous choice: enough is enough.”

Hm. That's an interesting point. I wonder if more dominoes would have fallen. Who did they play the next week? Would they have also cancelled? I figured that the Big Ten forced State to play the game because of the money involved. I didn't think about the idea that maybe the state government would have been involved.

They had a bye, then Purdue, Penn State, Maryland and OSU.

“Quincy Porter (is a) big, tall receiver, just like me,” Smith said in April. “Came in, kept his head down, just working. I’m happy to see his future at Ohio State. Probably gonna be the next one up, for sure.”

I'll never forgive Sparty for not just canceling that game. They were given the option, but chose to keep the money from their biggest home game of the year. Had they opted out, it would have starkly highlighted the national narrative of what tcun had been up to, forced the B1G and NCAA and the neworks to act much more quickly and maybe put a halt to tcun's "championship" run. Fuckin' Spartards can never be counted on when it matters.

Totally agreed and maybe stops other teams from playing them too. They had the chance to maybe end their season but took the money.

Anonymous Coaches' Comments on Ohio State in Athlon Sports CFB Magazine“

ear in and year out, this is the most talented program in the league and one of the most talented in the nation. The question every season is just if they can arrange that talent the right way.”

“Whoever wins the quarterback battle has one of the best receiver rooms in the country.”

“The defense is stocked; defensive tackle might be their question mark, but they’re going to dominate in league play.”

“The resilience of [Ryan] Day and his staff is really, really remarkable. I don’t think they get enough credit from the public for how they managed the playoff run after losing to Michigan. The calls for his job were absolutely ludicrous. Do they need to beat Michigan? Yeah, sure. But this program is at the very top of the sport because of the head coach.”

Seems like they’ve gone with a statue for every person he hired who sexually assaulted his players

To steer this thread back onto the tracks…

Day inherited a good staff and most of his hires have been stellar. Seems to be a good fit as a 21st century culture-setting CEO type coach
