Gov. Ron DeSantis has appointed Lauran Monbarren, a former college administrator and current CFO and VP of her state Senator father’s egg farming and asbestos-removing businesses, to the University of South Florida’s Board of Trustees.
Her appointment is subject to confirmation by Florida’s Republican-led Senate.
Her father, Wilton Simpson, serves as President, likely making any deliberation over her seat on the university board a formality.
Monbarren still boasts appropriate credentials to sit on the 13-member board.
She served as an administrator at Pasco-Hernando State College, which was Pasco-Hernando Community College until 2014. Simpson is former board member of the school.
