College to Host Fla. University System Board of Governors 

   

New College of Florida is hosting a meeting of the Board of Governors of the State University System of Florida on Thursday, September 12.  The meeting will be from 8 a.m. until approximately 3 p.m. in the Sudakoff Conference Center on the College's Pei Campus.

 

The 17-member Board of Governors is the governing body of the state university system, akin to the board of directors of a corporation. Chancellor Frank T. Brogan is the university system's leader and administrator, analogous to a chief executive officer.

 

The Sept. 12 board meeting will be Brogan's last. After heading the Florida system since 2009, he is leaving to become the chancellor of Pennsylvania's higher education system, effective Oct. 1. New College is also hosting a farewell reception for Brogan on Sept. 11.

 

Among the major items on the meeting's agenda:
