The University of Florida announced Monday its search committee chose Stuart Bell as the sole finalist to be the university's 14th president.

It's been a whirlwind week in the search for a new president of the University of Florida.

The only finalist for the position, Dr. Stuart Bell, was appointed interim president after the Florida Board of Governors refused to hold his confirmation hearing.

Earlier today, WUFT's Kristin Chermont Spina spoke with Miami Herald state government reporter Garrett Shanley, who's been following this topic closely.

She began by asking him to walk us through how we got here.

Kristin Chermont Spina is a Multimedia Content Producer and the Morning Edition anchor for WUFT News.
