Bills Propose to Cloak College Hires – The Ledger

State Rep. Neil Combee filed a House companion bill to legislation that was filed more than a month ago by state Sen. Alan Hays, R-Umatilla, which would exempt from public records laws the names of applicants for top administrative posts in Florida’s university or state college systems.


The Senate bill (SB 182) and Combee’s legislation (HB 223) would remove any personal identifying information about applicants and would allow closed-door interviews of the applicants for president, provost or dean at a state-supported institution of higher learning.

The information about the winning applicant would become public when the selection is announced, but perhaps not the names of those who applied and were not chosen, public records supporters said.

Combee said he decided to sponsor the bill in the Florida House because Hays is so convinced it will improve the quality of applicants in the state’s universities and colleges.
