As a native Miamian who has only been out of Florida (the state) since June 2004, and a UF alumna, I just read about this in the Seattle Times (yeah, it made the paper HERE)!
I am disappointed that my alumni association, of which I have been a member since 1989, has bestowed this honorarium, but I am not surprised considering the conservative leadership of the group. And I applaud the faculty for their dissent. As a former public high school teacher in Miami, I am well aware of the cuts Jeb Bush has made in education at all levels. I'm glad the faculty "sent the message." (That CNN article just glossed over it; FL's public education system has been in dire straits for years...long before Bush took office, but he certainly did his share of damage to it.)
With all that said, it's just HONORARY.
