May 4, 2023

South Florida State College President Thomas Leitzel is set to retire on June 30, leaving his position up for grabs.

“The position remains open as a result of our three finalists all for their own personal reasons have withdrawn their names for consideration,” District Board of Trustees Chairperson Terry Atchley said at a special meeting called for Wednesday.

The announcement of all three finalists withdrawing their applications now has some questioning if Gov. Ron DeSantis, not the school’s own board members, will have the final say as to who will be the next president.
