Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has appointed five new members to the University of West Florida's board, including two linked to a conservative think tank.
Among the appointees is Adam Kissel, a fellow at The Heritage Foundation, known for its association with Project 2025.
Other appointees include Scott Yenor, a Boise State political science professor, and several local professionals, indicating a shift towards more conservative governance.
The appointments follow a controversial series of changes at other educational institutions, such as the New College of Florida, also overseen by DeSantis.
These new board members still require confirmation from the Florida Senate, where Republicans hold a supermajority.
