Bense Reappointed As UWF President As Process Begins To Hire New Leader
September 4, 2015
Judy Bense, president of the University of West Florida since 2007, received approval Thursday to remain in the post as the Pensacola school moves through the process of hiring a new leader.
The state university system’s Board of Governors unanimously confirmed the reappointment of Bense — a move that came after the University of West Florida Board of Trustees voted to extend her contract through December 2016. In a June letter to the Board of Governors, University of West Florida trustees Chairman Lewis Bear said the university anticipates starting a search for a new president this fall.
Board of Governors Chairman Mori Hosseini praised Bense for making changes as the state has moved to more of a performance-based funding system for universities.
“Judy, you outdid yourself,” Hosseini said to Bense, who was at the board’s meeting in Gainesville.

She is irreplaceable.
As an alumni of UWF, she proved to be a great leader during my years of attendance. She always showed concerned for student input and always followed through with all inquiries. Glad she will get to continue in her position.
@Joe–youve got to know shes just following the orders from the folks who run the “downtown cilque”.
great, she can continue her efforts to destroy the baars firestone wildlife sanctuary
