The process aside, it should be noted that Ben Sasse has a Ph.D. in history from Yale, taught at the LBJ School at UT Austin and was president of an (admittedly small) college for four years, in addition to being in the Senate. Compare that with the new "interim" president of New College, a lawyer and politician with no significant experience in education.

That's all fair. The problem (which you allude to) is that we have no way to know how Sasse's credentials as the president of a high school-sized, private Lutheran college -- for three years before taking a partial leave of absence to campaign for Senate -- compared with any of the other applicants who were passed over by UF.

Probably all meant to hide what he is really about... extreme power and the complete elimination of Democracy as we know it. If you're willing to participate in force-feeding detainees in Gitmo through their nasal passages (which seems to be a war crime) - I am sure you would be willing to do much worse in the name of power. He's only started his quest for ABSOLUTE power. -------

"Prysner’s interview with Adayfi, titled “Ron DeSantis's Military Secrets: Torture & War Crimes,” aired on Nov. 18, 2022. A short time later, it caught the attention of Joe Kloc, an editor at Harper’s magazine."

Recently read that Sasse has refused to be interviewed by the college newspaper. The students and staff need to hear from him. What are his plans for the future of the school? Their latest headline is 'Where is Sasse?'. Thanks for another great article revealing what our governor is up to. I hope people open their eyes and vote appropriately next time.
