Santa Ono answers a question as Mori Hosseini, chairman of the University of Florida's Board of Trustees listens, during a meeting to vote on Ono becoming UF's 14th president on Tuesday.

Santa Ono resigned his job at the University of Michigan last month when he was named the sole finalist for the top job at ...

Ono discussed a range of topics during three separate one-hour sessions with faculty, students and staff, and administrators, including DEI, community outreach and experimental learning.
