Florida university president sole finalist Limayem.

Another Florida university has announced a sole finalist in the search for its next president. The search committee for the University of South Florida in Tampa named longtime academic Moez Limayem as the only contender for the post on Tuesday. Unlike other candidates nominated to lead Florida’s public universities in recent months, Limayem has not served as a Republican elected official. He is currently the president of the University of North Florida in Jacksonville. Limayem previously served as the dean of USF’s college of business for a decade. It’s not publicly known who else applied, because the selection of university presidents largely happens behind closed doors in Florida.
