The University of Florida’s president-elect is getting lots of advice on ways to heal the wounds opened by his candidacy.

Student leaders move to oust Lauren Lemasters, who joined a unanimous vote to make Sen. Ben Sasse the next UF president.

Sasse, a Nebraska Republican whose name emerged in early October as the sole finalist for the job, became the subject of protests and calls for action.

A resolution says the process to select U.S. Sen. Ben Sasse as the lone finalist has “undermined the trust and confidence” of faculty members.

The group wants records of the 12 people considered before Sen. Ben Sasse emerged as the university’s only remaining candidate.

The university’s outgoing president Kent Fuchs said a loud demonstration on Oct. 10 prevented many from hearing the candidate to succeed him.

As the only finalist, the U.S. senator is drawing heated opposition over his stance against same-sex marriage.
