Former University of Michigan President Santa Ono is a man without a job, after being rejected by the University of Florida. U-M is a prestigious university without a president, though former U-M Dearborn Chancellor Domenico Grasso is holding the job on an interim basis with no plans to pursue it himself.

The former University of Michigan president announced on May 4 he was leaving for the University of Florida. On June 3, the state's Board of Governors rejected his appointment.

Back in the early part of May, in a surprising turn of events, the University of Michigan's President Santa Ono announced he was departing from Michigan to head over to the University of Florida to become its President.
