The College of the Florida Keys Board of Trustees dismissed President Jonathan Gueverra in a surprise move effective immediately, with the board voting 6–0 (one trustee absent), according to local reporting. Board members said Gueverra lost their confidence and cited alleged insubordination, while Gueverra has up to 15 days to request an administrative hearing to challenge the termination. The action drew scrutiny tied to process and transparency: the meeting was reportedly called with only 72 hours’ notice and included a vague agenda item referring only to Gueverra’s contract, raising questions about compliance with Florida’s “sunshine” requirements. The board also restricted public comment until the end of the meeting after Gueverra was fired. Trustee criticism focused on governance disputes and the president’s ability to secure state appropriations, including for air-conditioning upgrades after DeSantis reportedly vetoed related budget funding twice. The situation is a reminder of how rapid trustee turnover can translate into sudden executive changes for small public institutions with constrained operational capacity.
