Nebraska U.S. Sen. Ben Sasse won approval Tuesday from the University of Florida Board of Trustees to be the school's next president despite vocal opposition from some faculty and students.
Sasse, a Republican, was recommended for the top post by a unanimous vote of the trustees. A final vote to elevate Sasse as the school's 13th president is set for Nov. 10 by the state university system Board of Governors.
During a four-hour meeting Tuesday on the Gainesville campus, Sasse sought to allay concerns that he's more a creature of politics than academia by saying he will take a "pledge of political celibacy" with regard to partisan issues.
"I would have no activity in partisan politics in any way as I arrive at the University of Florida," Sasse said, adding that his candidacy was not pushed by GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis or other Florida elected officials. "There is just tons and tons of learning and listening that I need to do."

University faculty are largely labor union members. Or at least think that way with tenure.
Good news all around. He gets the job he wants and we get him out of the senate.
And the faculty will spend all their time making his life miserable.
That’s the best part.
Nice to see the Board of Trustees standing up to a bunch of leftist professors. The pain is almost unbearable, but I’m forced to say, Good Job Gators.
Some faculty tried that at Purdue with Mitch Daniels and it backfired pretty badly.
Well, someone should’ve told Benny be careful what you wish for.
Why the opposition? He is liberal.
I’m just curious what qualifies him to run a university?
GOOD RIDDANCE from the Senate.
He had to separate himself from DeSantis. Total tool.
Sasse would fit better at Cal Berkeley. He was not a good choice for UF. We will see.
Ben is a snake and not needed here in the Sunshine State!!
Degree from Harvard and Doctorate from Yale.
Prof at Univ of Tx.
Also was Pres of a smaller uni.
Junior domo in fed gov (HHS)
Seems like a typical resume for that job
Thanks. I was genuinely curious.
Down: Sasse the Ass, Burr, Toomey, LizardC, Cryin' Kinzinger, Herrera-Buetler, Gonzales, Light Bulb Upton, Meijer, Rice, Katko.
To Go: Murkowski, Romney, Cassidy, Collins, Newhouse, Valadao.
That will be fun to watch. This appeaser is about to find out what it’s like to deal with real Marxists.
No, not good news. Awful news.
I’m a Gator alum.
