The College of the Florida Keys’ Board of Trustees dismissed President Jonathan Gueverra in a surprise 6-0 vote, effective immediately, according to reporting cited in the story. The board said it had lost confidence in Gueverra, including allegations of insubordination, while Gueverra has argued against the board’s rationale. Critics raised potential compliance issues, including claims the meeting was called with only 72 hours’ notice and that public comment was restricted after Gueverra was fired, with questions about whether the process violated Florida’s sunshine laws. The board also limited details about the termination during the meeting agenda, according to the report. Board members tied their concerns to an alleged inability to secure state appropriations, including references to gubernatorial budget actions affecting facility upgrades. Trustee Alexandria Suarez accused Gueverra of failing to respond effectively to board concerns about a contract renewal that had been extended through 2028 under the prior board.
