It says it was a recommendation, but it doesn't seem like it has been approved yet. At least I didn't see where it had been approved.
I guess they recommend it to UWF trustee board. One thing to note is that Judy Bense is the older sister of Allan Bense who was the speaker of the Florida House. I don't see the trustee board rejecting the recommendation.
