State board wants closer look at university President contracts, Interim Presidents' staying power
The Board overseeing Florida’s public universities wants to look deeper into how long interim school leaders remain in power, presidential searches and Presidents’ contracts, Chairman Brian Lamb said.
The Florida Board of Governors held a virtual call where they did not vote on any issues, but Lamb said they plan to explore these issues for upcoming meetings. The Board meets next March 28-29.
Earlier this year, the newly Gov. Ron DeSantis-appointed New College of Florida board of trustees hired Richard Corcoran as the school’s Interim President and gave him a $699,000 salary, an $84,000 housing allowance and a $12,000 auto allowance as part of his 18-month contract.
