@AlanHalaly
I cover water in the nation’s driest state for the Las Vegas @reviewjournal. alum of @UFJSchool + @TheAlligator. [email protected].
- Replying to @AlanHalalyProtesters have even fully filled the President’s Ballroom and have taken to the podium where Sasse was moments ago. “Get the f*ck out of our swamp!” protestors are cheering.
00:00 - For some at UF, @BenSasse is a polarizing choice for president. But for LGBT students and faculty, Sasse represents an attack on their existence. Here’s my story for @TheAlligator on how UF’s LGBT community is grappling with the Sasse announcement.
- Replying to @AlanHalalyProtesters have now entered Emerson Hall where Sasse is addressing students. Cheers of “Hey, hey, ho, ho, Ben Sasse has got to go,” are able to be heard within the President’s Ballroom.
00:00 - We’re asking—once again—that @BenSasse, who has kept a low profile since becoming @UF president, sit down with the student paper that will continue to cover his presidency no matter what. It’s time to grant an interview request with @TheAlligator.
- I’m inside Emerson Alumni Hall for the three @BenSasse back-to-back public forums for faculty, staff and students. I’ll put some highlights here. Follow @makseminera and @TheAlligator for updates.
- Fun environment reporter moment: This little guy is a rare yellow-billed loon, a migratory bird that has made his home in the Bellagio fountains after a pit stop at the Henderson Bird Preserve. Local birders are worried about him! Story to come @reviewjournal
- Replying to @AlanHalalyStudents aren’t letting up yet — they filled all 150 seats in the President’s Ballroom and turned it into a sit-in against @BenSasse. No update yet on if the last forum is being rescheduled.
00:00 - Replying to @AlanHalalyThe student forum ended early, and a UF spokesperson tells me they are going to wait to allow the students to express themselves and wait to make a decision on the third one. Protesters are currently laying out their demands, namely that Sasse doesn’t take the job. @TheAlligator
- Some news: Next month, I’m hopping in my car and moving across the country to take on a position @reviewjournal covering water—and the severe lack of it—in the Las Vegas Valley. I couldn’t be happier to sink my teeth into this beat at my first big boy job 🌄🌵🏜️
- Scenes from inside Tigert Hall, where a coalition of UF activists demanded to see @UF President @BenSasse on his first day to deliver their demands. He didn’t show — but they taped up their demands anyway on his office door and in the hall. Shot for @TheAlligator
- Replying to @AlanHalalySasse and Rahul Patel, chair of the presidential search committee, are now doing a live-stream in a remote location that’s being broadcasted to the room protesters are. This is in lieu of the third forum for staff, a UF spokesperson told me. @TheAlligator
00:00 - So thrilled to say today is my first day interning at the @MiamiHerald on the crime and environment team! The sun is shining and I’m ready to take on the summer ☀️ Call me + beep me at [email protected] with ideas or professions of love! 🌴
- Today I’ll be reporting from inside Emerson Hall at UF, where presidential finalist Ben Sasse will be interviewed and voted on by the Board of Trustees. Here are the barricades set up outside. There is increased police presence. Follow along for updates @TheAlligator
