Tensions escalate between the Broward College Board of Trustees and its foundation as the board takes control of its leadership, aiming to improve oversight. Appointments of new board members were made, including the controversial removal of a long-standing member. Critics worry about potential political motives behind the changes, particularly regarding appointees from the DeSantis administration. Following significant financial losses attributed to mismanagement, the board's chair advocates for the necessary overhaul of the foundation structure and operations, paralleling guidelines from the State University System Board of Governors.
"The foundation lost approximately $3 million in recent years due to mismanagement, and the college's Board of Trustees felt increased oversight was needed to address this issue."
"Trustees deny any political agenda, claiming the direct-support organization needs an overhaul after years of poorly managed funds and lack of oversight from the foundation."
