FAU Chair Could Be Removed By DeSantis – Board Panics

When wrongdoers get caught, they sometimes panic and jump out of a window instead of taking responsibility for their actions. That’s what seems to be going on with FAU. Only two trustees had the common sense and decency to vote against the latest mishigas (insanity), a vote to do away with moving the board of trustees vice chair to Chair, should the chair leave or get removed by Governor DeSantis.

In the latest twist during an FAU board of trustees meeting, FAU Faculty Senate Chair Kim Dunn made an “unexpected” motion that wasn’t on the agenda. She wants to bypass Vice Chair Barbara Feingold for the board of trustees Chair and vote someone else in should Chair Brad Levine resign from the board of trustees or be removed by Governor DeSantis. Feingold would have automatically advanced to chair if Levine had been given the heave-ho.

This hasty plan was suddenly spat out at the end of a board meeting during member comments. It wasn’t on the meeting agenda, yet all voted in favor, except Pablo Paez and Linda Stoch. Paez pointed out that this item should be noticed on the agenda at the next meeting where a discussion would occur. Feingold wasn’t at the meeting for the unceremonious backstabbing.
