Stuart Bell named sole finalist to become UF’s next president
The University of Florida Presidential Search Committee has selected former University of Alabama President Stuart Bell as the sole finalist for the university’s top leadership post, following a months-long search. Bell led the University of Alabama for a decade before stepping down last summer and must still be confirmed by the UF Board of Trustees and the Florida Board of Governors. Gainesville city officials expressed hope that the incoming president will maintain and strengthen the university’s partnerships with the broader community.
