TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Former Gov. Jeb Bush may not be getting an honorary degree from the University of Florida, but students there could soon earn their diplomas from a school bearing his name. A House panel Tuesday unanimously approved a bill naming Florida's College of Education for Bush in response to a Faculty Senate vote denying him an honorary degree. Some faculty members had criticized Bush's educational record in respect to the university. "Whether you agree with him or disagree with him on the issue of education, he certainly pushed the debate and pushed the envelope on the issue," said Rep. David Rivera, R-Miami, who proposed the school naming.
Many teachers and other educators opposed some of Bush's education initiatives, such as rewarding and punishing schools according to students' standardized tests results and using vouchers to send certain students to private schools at public expense.
