FIU advances Jeanette Nuñez as sole presidential finalist

  • Florida International University named former Lieutenant Governor Jeanette Nuñez its sole finalist for permanent president in 2025.
  • The unanimous decision by the presidential search committee followed two other finalists withdrawing unless they were the only candidate.
  • Since February, Nuñez has held the role of FIU's temporary president and enjoys strong support from Governor Ron DeSantis, highlighting his significant role in shaping higher education.
  • Roger Tovar praised Nuñez as “no better advocate for FIU” given her experience and status as a two-time FIU alumna and former Florida legislator.
  • The appointment requires board of governors' approval, and FIU plans campus forums for community engagement amid concerns over political influence on university leadership.
