The short of it is the “ruling party,” as some in power would clearly like to be called, is upset the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), which accredits Florida’s higher ed institutions, is applying the same standards to our state’s flagship schools that they apply to every other university and college in the Southeast.

Please take a moment of silence as we honor the memory of cherished union leader and advocate, Dr. John Joseph “Jack” McTague. Jack, 77, an Albany, N.Y., native who spent most of his career as a history professor at Saint Leo University in Saint Leo, Florida, serving the community and Unions for over 30+ years. He passed away peacefully at home with family on Feb. 11 after a brief but courageous battle with cancer.
