University of Florida presidential hopeful Stuart Bell says he won’t bring ‘woke’ back

Stuart Bell, the sole candidate vying to become the next president of the University of Florida, is positioning himself against the backdrop of rising conservative movements in higher education. Bell assured faculty, staff, and students that he won't revive what he termed "woke" policies, aiming to steer the university in a more traditional direction. This move is significant as it reflects a broader national trend where universities are navigating political pressures, and Bell's stance could influence the institution's future direction and policies.
