UF Presidential Search Committee Member Appears in Files Related to Jeffrey Epstein
Ann Skeet, the senior director of leadership ethics, said she worries Band’s association with Epstein and Maxwell and his association with UF will distract from the presidential search process, and that this aspect alone is enough of a reason for him to leave the committee.
“Ideally, he would identify that there are going to be questions about his background that are going to distract from the process of the search, and he would choose to resign,” Skeet said.
