- The Florida Board of Governors voted unanimously Friday to confirm Moez Limayem as USF’s ninth president.
- He is expected to take office in early 2026, returning to USF after serving as UNF president and previously as USF’s business dean.
- His five-year contract includes a $1.25 million base salary, up to a 50% performance bonus, a $144,000 housing stipend, $18,000 for a car, a $50,000 moving stipend, and deferred compensation equal to 25% of base pay.
- Limayem’s departure will trigger an interim appointment and a presidential search at the University of North Florida.
- Early priorities include responding to Gov. Ron DeSantis’ proposal affecting the Sarasota-Manatee campus, which USF leaders said will be debated during the upcoming legislative session.
