Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has reappointed two prominent political donors, Rahul Patel and Richard Cole, to the University of Florida's Board of Trustees.
This board plays a crucial role in setting university policy and managing its resources, holding significant authority over the institution.
Patel has notably donated a total of $70,000 to DeSantis' campaigns while serving as the board's vice chair since 2023.
Cole's contributions amount to $132,500 for DeSantis' gubernatorial campaigns and $100,000 to a supporting super PAC.
The reappointments need to be confirmed by the Florida Senate and will take effect on January 7, as UF searches for a new president.
