He's a Lancer now
Lars Hafner is a St. Pete Titan no more. A week after getting an offer to lead Manatee Community College, the St. Pete College provost has accepted.
MCC trustees officially approved Hafner's two-year, $210,000-a-year contract on Wednesday, the Bradenton Herald reports. Hafner, who represented St. Petersburg in the Florida House for more than a decade, will move to Manatee or Sarasota county as part of the agreement.
"I'm very excited we were chosen by the board," he told the Herald. "I feel very fortunate."
Hafner replaces Sarah Pappas, who is retiring after 11 years. His first day is July 1.

210K. How very nice for him. I made about $8 an hour with no benefits doing the actual teaching at a Florida community college. And administrators, as well as other "full-time" employees, get pet health insurance, but the part-timers, AKA the vast majority of the teachers, get no health insurance. Pet insurance. Pet insurance. "Campuses" filled with administrators choking on cash, and their support staffs, getting pet insurance, while the "distance learning" classrooms are just tv programs and real teachers starve.
Sickening.
Disgusting.
And Deeply Immoral.
Shame on Hafner, et. al.
