Sasse, 50, will appear at three forums on campus earlier this week.

Sasse was previously president of Midland University. He holds five academic degrees, including two master’s degrees and a doctoral degree from Yale University and a bachelor’s from Harvard University.

Sasse will return to Gainesville Nov. 1 to be interviewed by UF’s board of trustees.
