Former University of Michigan President Santa Ono is a man without a job, after being rejected by the University of Florida. U-M is a prestigious university without a president, though former U-M Dearborn Chancellor Domenico Grasso is holding the job on an interim basis with no plans to pursue it himself.

Florida state university leaders voted to reject Santo Ono as president of the University of Florida, following Republican backlash over the former University of Michigan president’s previous support for diversity programs.
