UF names former University of Alabama president Stuart Bell as sole presidential finalist

The University of Florida’s presidential search committee has unanimously selected Dr. Stuart R. Bell as its sole finalist to become the university’s 14th president, concluding a months-long search. Bell led the University of Alabama as president for a decade before departing last summer. The nomination still requires approval from both the UF Board of Trustees and the Florida Board of Governors before he can be confirmed.
