Atwater no longer considered for Florida Atlantic University

IUP President Tony Atwater was not among the three candidates announced for the president position at Florida Atlantic University, according to the Palm Beach Post.

The announcement was made more than a week after a letter containing his resume was obtained by the university.

Atwater has been IUP’s president since 2005. Remodeling Fisher Auditorium, the Residential Revival Plan and the KCAC project were some accomplishments Atwater listed on his resume.

IUP also achieved record enrollment for the current academic year, enrolling 14,638 students.

In December, the faculty voted no confidence in Atwater. A lack of transparency with the university budget was a complaint among the faculty.

The SGA also held a meeting before the end of the winter semester, where they made a list of grievances against Atwater.

Florida Atlantic University, locatedin Boca Raton, Fla., has several branch campuses across the state.

The paper reported that the final decision will be made Wednesday.
