The Florida Board of Governors , which oversees the state’s universities, voted 10-6 against Santa Ono .

Ono was most recently president of the University of Michigan .

The board voted unanimously in May to approve Ono as the school's 14th president.

It is unprecedented for the governors to reverse such an action.

“And flowing from that he’s made significant strides toward equity, inclusion and diversity in our practices and in our workforce, and really worked to build a very inclusive culture,” McKenzie said. Ono, who was born in Vancouver and learned to ride his bike along tree-lined Main Mall at the Point Grey campus where his dad taught in the 1960s , became UBC president in 2016 after Dr. Arvind Gupta left abruptly as president in 2015 , only one year into a five-year term, following rifts with the board of governors.
