Applications for Florida Polytech University’s board of trustees were due last Friday, but the Board of Governors extended the deadline after a flurry of last-minute filings. The Board’s spokeswoman Kelly Layman says the board is looking for quality, not quantity.
"The most important thing right now is to get the right board in place that’s a quality board, not simply a board that's ready on 5 pm, July first.”
The Governor’s Office will appoint six members to Polytech’s board while the Board of Governors will appoint five. The other two slots are for the student body president and faculty representative. Florida Polytech University was created from a law granting the University of South Florida’s Polytechnic Campus immediate independence from its parent school.
