Florida's Board of Governors Approves Corcoran as New College President

Jose Oliva, former Speaker of the Florida House of Rep., praised the appointment of Richard Corcoran as the Interim Pres. of the New College of Florida.

“’I’ve had the privilege of serving alongside Richard Corcoran in the Legislature for almost a decade. And I have on many occasions expressed my opinions about the quality and the value of his work to the Legislature and to the state,” Oliva said.

“I would go further and say that if what the Board is looking for is someone that will remove the entrenched bureaucracies and fight the status quo, they’d be hard-pressed to do better than Richard Corcoran.”

When pressed as to the specific of bonuses and perks, Oliva stated that he is seeking “greater oversight and participation on how bonuses are structured and thereafter how they are awarded.”
