Miami Dade College president answers question about Trump presidential library
MIAMI — Miami Dade College President Madeline Pumariega answered a question on Tuesday about an activist’s allegation that the college had violated Florida’s Sunshine Law.
Historian Marvin Dunn asked Miami-Dade County Circuit Judge Mavel Ruiz for a temporary injunction because the Miami Dade College’s Board of Trustees had not properly notified the public about the meeting when they voted to transfer land for the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library.
Ruiz temporarily blocked the planned transfer on Oct. 14. Pumariega said the Miami Dade College’s Board of Trustees gave adequate public notice about the meeting.
“We posted it seven days in advance,” Pumariega said. “Special meetings require two to three meetings. Actually, we ran an ad in The Miami Herald.”
Pumariega had to step away for an event and couldn’t talk about why the vote wasn’t livestreamed.
