UF is embarrassing right now.

Sure, we live in polarizing times, but these actions are horrific and are not reflective of a flagship, research one university, whose mission is to produce and share knowledge.

• There was external pressure to destroy COVID-19 data and inconsistencies in procedures for things like data destruction.
• A State of Florida government entity created barriers to and delayed publication of COVID-19 data.
• UF employees were told verbally not to criticize Gov. Ron DeSantis or UF policies related to Covid-19 in media interactions.

I wonder if this is being used to negatively recruit athletes who are interested in getting a quality education.

 

[Herzeleid05]

You really think these athletes give AF about any of that?

Used to negatively recruit athletes? Lol Bro, you’re trying to fish with a garden rake right now.

Lol COVID politics. In before the lock.

Our recruiting and football program is a joke for sure...but not our University.

If you think any football players give a rats @$$ about that I’d say your wrong. If someone were trying to use that to a younger me, I’d say how are they at coaching football & oh yeah they’re a top 5 public academic school. Oh & DeSantis > Biden.😁

 

[RickyT]

How 'bout making (keeping) UF an academic institution, and not a political cesspool. I don't want some liberal "professor" popping off against our governor/president just to gain a headline or make a name for himself. Opinions are like a##holes -- everyone has one.

Or is this fantasy…

Fake ass bat flu crap. Anybody who believes in this wuhan bat flu crap drives a pos Hyundai that is slow as f'

Flip flop Fauci is the biggest terd of them all

 

[LamboTFD12]

Feel pretty lucky to live in a state like Florida and have the Governor we do!

 

[GatorFan1020]

Absolutely is the dumbest thing I’ve read on this board….congrats troll.

You are embarrassing. Best managed state in the US

Wrong board. @FresnoGator could you move this to the parking lot?

First, take this shit to the lounge.
Second, recruits could give two shits about COVID.
Third, your post reflects the poor decisions and corruptness of the State of Florida government and DiSantis. Not the University of Florida.

 

[Tarjf]

Please move this thread to the lounge area....nothing to do with UF athletics. I'm not interested in anyones political views on this site

 

[Da22as]

It's not a professor's position to share political position whatsoever at the University. If they do then they shouldn't be a professor anywhere. They are there to teach not share their positions on religion or current political positions. As far as criticism of the governor ,no government employees should be allowed while on the clock to discuss such matters or personal opinion. Lastly it makes no sense how anyone would use this against recruiting. Every Young man and woman who are athlete's want to perform.

 

[bigsnake49]

Well, for the longest time, the athletic department was told, don't embarrass us. We are becoming a first class research university and we need our reputation intact. Well now the shoe is on the other foot. UF's academic part is generating negative news. Ha!

 

[mkwhi2]

Embarrassing. There are a large number of student athletes who want a good education. Football? maybe not so much. But I hope you realize that UF has hundreds of student athletes.

Oh, that COVID is just a flu is incredibly uneducated take. And it isn’t merely one option vs another.

Ya know I do vaguely remember researching anthrax cases prior to deciding which middle school to take my talents to 😂

Does anyone really take the wuhan willies seriously anymore?

The quality of this board has gone substantially downhill- it's shocking

[toryicho]

The board has hit a new all time low……

Take this crap to the Gator Lounge you pleeb!

 

[JimGaster]

The virus is real (my entire family had it). The Pandemic is a scam.

DeSantis is BY FAR the best Governor in America.

Trump won! 😜

Thank you for your fascist comment - telling professors they're not allowed to speak because they might say something bad about the governor is exactly that - fascism

It’s definitely embarrassing but I don’t see it having any effect on football recruiting.

Yes between this and the women's bball team, we are an embarrassment. But it doesn't play any role in football recruiting

I don't believe for a second that he actually thinks this impacts recruiting. More likely put that in there so he could argue that it wasn't a political post.
