As such, the report is organized into three parts: An introduction that provides an overview of each investigation and a list of actions that the University has already taken in an effort to address these issues; My recommendation for how the Board of Governors and the university can best collaborate moving forward; and Summaries of the findings from independent organizations including Sniffen & Spellman, Accretive Solutions, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, Ernst & Young, and the Southern Association of College and Schools plus the Board of Governors.

  • BOARD of GOVERNORS March 23, 2021
    STATE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF FLORIDA BOARD OF GOVERNORS March 23, 2021 SUBJECT: Agnes Peebles Memorial Scholarship Trust PROPOSED BOARD ACTION Approval to seek judicial modification of the Agnes Peebles Memorial Scholarship Trust. AUTHORITY FOR BOARD OF GOVERNORS ACTION Article IX, Section 7, Florida Constitution, Section 736.04113, Florida Statutes BACKGROUND INFORMATION A trust was created in 1953 by Myrtle Peebles in honor of her mother-in-law, Agnes Peebles, to establish a scholarship fund for students from Indian River County attending the University of Florida (which was subsequently amended in 1964 to extend to all four year universities under the Florida Board of Control). The Florida Board of Control, the predecessor to the Board of Regents and the Board of Governors, was appointed to serve as the trustee and the trust provided for any successor of the Board of Control to serve as the trustee. The trust created a Local Committee in Indian River County to select scholarship recipients and determine the amount of the scholarships. The funds have been administered through the Board office in conjunction with the Indian River School District. The trust restricts the ability of the trustee to sell and reinvest the securities that form the corpus of the trust unless there are insufficient funds for the scholarships. In order to maximize the funds available for the scholarships, the Indian River School District is requesting the Board of Governors to seek a judicial modification of the trust to remove the restriction on the ability to sell and reinvest the proceeds to provide greater flexibility to an investment manager to diversify the portfolio.

  • Our First 100 Years College of Education 1906-2006
    1 Dean’s Welcome Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire. –William Butler Yeats arely does one have the opportunity to be the presiding dean as the first 100 years come to Rclosure, and it’s certainly not an experience I will be privileged to have again. The history of this college is rich with examples of educational innovations and stories that inspired generations of alumni and friends of the College to light their own fires across the many career and life paths they have chosen. In the opening Foreword, former dean Ben Nelms does a wonderful job of setting the tone for readers as they journey back through decades of change. We hope this booklet will become a cherished keepsake that preserves people’s memories of the first 100 years, as the College of Education at the University of Florida gears up to meet the challenges of the 21st century, and celebrate its Bicentennial in 2106. Catherine Emihovich Dean, 2002-present 2 3 Foreword lumni of the University of Florida College of Education have vivid memories of the College and recount them with obvious relish. They Aremember Norman Hall, its weird nooks and crannies, cavernous classrooms, yellow tile and wood paneling, its historic facade, graceful live oak, and — graduates from more recent years — New Norman and the courtyard. But more important, they remember people, the faculty especially: sometimes the eccentric, the cranky, the colorful, but usually the master teacher, the accomplished professional, the lasting influence, names of nationally known figures and beloved leaders around the state.
