GAINESVILLE, Fla. - University of Florida President Bernie Machen says he was "tremendously disappointed" with the school's Faculty Senate vote to deny former Gov. Jeb Bush an honorary degree.

The Senate voted 38-28 Thursday against giving the honorary degree to Bush, who left office in January.
"Jeb Bush has been a great friend of the University of Florida," Machen said Friday, adding that the Senate's action is "unheard of."

Some faculty expressed concern about Bush's record in higher education.

"I really don't feel this is a person who has been a supporter of UF," Kathleen Price, associate dean of library and technology at the school's Levin College of Law, told The Gainesville Sun after the vote.
Bush's approval of three new medical schools during his tenure has diluted resources, Price told the newspaper.
Bush has also been criticized for his "One Florida" proposal, an initiative that ended race-based admissions programs at state universities.

University officials said they could not recall any precedent for the Senate rejecting the nominees put forth by the Faculty Senate's Honorary Degrees, Distinguished Alumnus Awards and Memorials Committee. The committee determines whether nominees deserve consideration according to standards that include "eminent distinction in scholarship or high distinction in public service."
"The committee endorsed him," Machen said. "It is unheard of that a faculty committee would look at candidates, make recommendations and then (those candidates) be overturned by the Senate." (...)
==================================

Along the same subject lines (the Imperial Bush Dynasty, not education)...
Remember a few years ago, Daddy Bush's big donor, Rev. Sun Yung Moon took his center of operations to Brazil?
Remember Dubya sending the twinset to South America for photo ops, and buying a ranch in Paraguay?
Paraguay is one of the last old time fascist countries left in South America, and, just sayin' here, would be prime territory for a Blackwater style paramilitary jumping off point for covert operations to cause problems, such as the Bush Crime Family speciality... provacation... in the neighborhood.

Good for the arms dealer- drug dealer connection that neoconservatives find such personal wealth in, and which keeps America politically so dependent on the established system of militarism and security.

After all, America's biggest export is not automobiles, it's arms.

A factoid from this is hell:
The Bush dynasty is going from oil to ethanol.

Daddy Bush's Carlyle is dipping its dipstick into the agriculture end of ethanol.

Remember Dubya's Big biofuel agreement he made with Brazil's President Lula during his south America victory tour last week?
Any future for Brazilian ethanol will be undermined by the US 53-cent a gallon tariff we have on ethanol.
Lula and Brazil would like to see that disappear, but it won't, so the positives from this will all be pure political propaganda for the lapdog mainstream media to say that Bush is doing somethng positive to wean us from our oil addiction.
Yeah, right, why would the 'dealer' wreck his own business.

Keeping all this in mind, think about the following...

Fact from Hell (from the This is Hell radio program):

Guess who is the co-chair of the interamerican ethanol commission an organization that promotes the use of ethanol in America?
Answer: Brother Jeb Bush.
