Will Weatherford

Weatherford Capital is one of two firms creating a platform to help athletic departments find funding with college sports on the verge of sweeping change that could have long-term financial implications.

The University of South Florida is one of many schools forced to phase out diversity, equity, and inclusion offices thanks to a new state law. But USF officials say the school will remain diverse.

Chair Will Weatherford said "it's our obligation as a public university to uphold the constitutional right of free speech and open dialogue" following recent Pro-Palestinian rallies on USF's campuses.

Students at USF rallied outside a Board of Trustees meeting Tuesday to protest House Bill 999, effectively ending all diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives on state college campuses.

University of South Florida Board chairman Will Weatherford assured officials that DeSantis would come around next year.

Law joins at least 11 other candidates who have already applied to succeed Steven Currall.

“We are extremely disappointed that decisions to modify our approach are no longer being guided by science and data,” USF Faculty Senate President Timothy Boaz said.

Steven Currall’s tenure as president of the University of South Florida officially came to an end Monday. Tampa attorney Rhea Law will temporarily fill his position.

The former chair of the University of South Florida's Board of Trustees is slated to become interim president Monday.

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.

Lauran Monbarren previously served as an administrator at Pasco-Hernando State College.

USF officials say the school’s budget for the upcoming fiscal year is better than they anticipated following months of financial uncertainty.
