Florida Democratic Party Slams Appointment of Jeanette Nunez to FIU
Today, Lt. Governor Jeanette Nuñez was selected as interim President of Florida International University. In response, the Florida Democratic Party released the following statement:
“Once again, Republican hypocrisy knows no bounds,” said FDP Chair Nikki Fried. “Just a few weeks after she backflipped on protecting in-state tuition for Dreamers — Jeanette Nuñez will now lead one of the most diverse colleges in the state. With her record, how can she be trusted to lead the college with the largest population of Hispanic students in the country?
“Her appointment is just the latest move in Ron’s hostile takeover of Florida’s colleges and universities, as he continues to install political hacks and loyalists to push his partisan agenda. It has nothing to do with improving Florida’s cratering educational outcomes and everything to do with rewarding loyalty.”
