Excellent news Chris! Thank you for your leadership and courage!

Well done! I am a professor who graduated from UF. In my current position it is almost illegal to say I support Chris and Governor DeSantis, but I do. There is a long way to go, but Chris is making it shorter!

Great, I support the Governor and right wing stances, but I disagree with the conclusion of this article.

Another win for sanity. Way to go!

These small but very meaningful wins add up and guarantees a better future for all! By the way, now may be a good time to start a campaign against those who voted for him. Just saying.

U da man Christopher. This would not have happened without yours efforts.

I don’t understand why he was ever considered qualified for the job at all. In Florida????

Another good point. Deep staters are not always transparent, as we know.

Well Will, you obviously are very important. Being privy to such secret information must be a tremendous burden. Come in for a little therapy so we can help you with the anxiety you feel.

If you are an American citizen, we can help you. Otherwise we can help you find another country who may appreciate your talents.

How did he slip under the radar? that is a good question. I saw Ono's prior statements about "GLOBAL CLIMATE AGENDA" and left wing yadda yadda talking points. I guess .. let's face it for that kind of money .. he would say ANYTHING.. so it just shows... he can be bought and sold.. 'nuff said there.

He eliminated the DEI programs at one of the top public universities in the US.

He is Canadian anyway, so he is an enemy to our way of life.

My grandfather said only believe half of what you read, and less of what you hear. And he was a Canadian. So I think you have enough US born enemies of Western Culture without trying to blame the good people north of the 49th parallel.

As a Florida resident with a daughter at UF I thank you profusely!

The rats are everywhere, The Swamp deep. Even in Florida. Which should shock no one. Thank you for helping to prove the adage, "Sunlight is the best disinfectant."

We're all going to have to step up our game and shine light in all the dark corners, under the tables and beds and cabinets they hide. A good exterminator knows they can never sleep where rodents breed, in the halls of power. Which includes university halls.

“Sunlight is the best disinfectant.” Amen!

Good work! 🌟

Thanks for your efforts, Chris. I heard about Ono and what you were doing to get the word out about him through Jeff Childers over on his Coffee and Covid Substack.

Stacy -

Yes! I’m a new subscriber to Chris but, like you, also learned about this from Jeff Childers’ substack. He had given an email to a government entity where people could write and express their opinions, which I did. So hats off to Chris - and Jeff too - for making us aware of so many important issues!

Bo Havlik's avatar

Cudos to Jeff Childers as well.

😎🙏☝️🌴❤️👍

So glad to hear this Chris. I hope that Florida and Floridians delve into this situation and figure out exactly who was behind recommending Ono and make note of those who voted for his appointment.

Freedom Fox's avatar

This!! Who was behind his name being submitted? As long as that person/persons are still at UF they remain a significant threat to UF being Higher Education vs. a Marxist Indoctrination Camp. They must be ferreted out and exposed. And if not able to be fired, then transferred to work in environmental services cleaning urinals around campus. Me thinks Christopher Rufo would know where to find the names of the search team. Would be nice if he would share them here.

Clarity Seeker's avatar

Great work by chris and others. But is it clear thst boasberg or others will not mandate Ono's getting the job? One never knows these days.

He's finished. The Board of Governors has final authority.
