When conservative Nebraska Republican U.S. Senator Ben Sasse won his extremely lucrative job as University of Florida president in November 2022, he promised to practice “political celibacy” and avoid partisan politics.

“Frankly, I find it super appealing to be able to step back from politics for a time. I would have no activity in partisan politics in any way,” Sasse told the University of Florida Board of Trustees in Gainesville on Nov. 1, 2022. He assumed office in February.
