Steven Currall

Rhea Law, a USF graduate and former chair of the USF Board of Trustees, was recommended as interim president Monday by current trustee chair Will Weatherford.

An organizer for a group that's been fighting the University of South Florida administration over a proposal to develop a preserve in Tampa said he was “quite surprised” about the sudden retirement of USF’s president.

Timothy Boaz had issues with Currall's handling of possible development of the USF Forest Preserve and changes to the College of Education, but praised his leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic and willingness to work with faculty on budget issues.

Steven Currall said he is retiring as USF president to "preserve" his health and to spend more time with family.

The scores measure each school's performance in 10 student success-based metrics, including four-year graduation rate, degrees awarded, and median wages of graduates.

Most of the plans include building apartments, hotels, and restaurants, but one hopes to preserve the land entirely.

Graduation ceremonies are scheduled for May 7-9 at Tropicana Field and will be held under COVID-19 guidelines.

President Steven Currall announced on Wednesday that USF is planning to fully reopen its three campuses this fall.

USF St. Petersburg Regional Chancellor Martin Tadlock will step down Dec. 31, 2021. He says it will give him more time to spend with his family.

For a third straight semester, USF is holding a virtual commencement ceremony because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Earlier this month, the USF Faculty Senate published a letter detailing their concerns about planned budget cuts. On Tuesday, the Board of Trustees got a chance to hear those concerns firsthand.

The USF St. Petersburg Campus Advisory Board met virtually to talk about a number of issues Thursday.
