UF BOARD CHAIR: NOT ENOUGH FLORIDA KIDS SCORE OVER 1500 ON THE SATUniversity of Florida Board of Trustees Chair Mori Hosseini is pushing back on a new state law that caps out-of-state enrollment, saying UF has to recruit outside Florida to protect its national ranking.A clip circulating on X quotes Hosseini telling the Board of Governors that UF needs students above a 1500 SAT, that there are not many of them in Florida, and that out-of-state students score higher than in-state ones. The Space Coast Rocket has not independently verified that audio.What is confirmed: at Thursday's Board of Governors meeting, Hosseini called the Legislature's enrollment policy "a travesty" and warned that if UF cannot pull high-scoring students from other states, "what we are going to do is bring the number of students down so the percentages don't affect us."The provision, passed in HB 5601E during May's budget special session, lets the Board of Governors block out-of-state tuition increases if the university system tops 10 percent non-Florida students. House members had pushed to cut the freshman cap to 5 percent after complaints that Florida valedictorians were being rejected by UF.Should UF hold seats for Florida students, or chase the rankings?#Florida #BrevardCounty #UF ...

A federal judge in Boston has again blocked the U.S. Postal Service from carrying out President Trump's executive order limiting mail voting, just as the first states start sending out ballots for the November midterms.U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani issued a preliminary injunction Friday, replacing a temporary order that had been set to expire Sept. 10. The ruling keeps USPS from enforcing new requirements tied to the order, including ballot envelope design standards and a portal for submitting voter data.The Trump administration has already appealed Talwani's earlier restraining order and asked the U.S. Supreme Court to step in. This latest order is expected to be appealed as well.The timing matters. North Carolina began mailing its first ballots Friday and Alabama is set to follow Sept. 9. Florida's mailing window for the Nov. 3 general election opens later this month, and voters must have a current vote-by-mail request on file. Requests made for 2024 expired at the end of that year.Brevard County voters can check or renew their vote-by-mail request through the Supervisor of Elections office. The deadline to request a ballot for the general election is 5 p.m. on Oct. 22.We will keep following this one as it moves through the ap#VoteByMails#brevardB#election2026d#Election2026 ...
