October 21, 2025 – The University of South Florida has named Moez Limayem, a former dean whose popularity extended far beyond the Tampa campus, as its ninth president. He was the sole finalist for the position, and USF’s Board of Trustees unanimously approved the appointment Tuesday morning. Limayem spent 10 years growing the Muma College of Business before leaving to become president of the University of North Florida in 2022. He will succeed President Rhea Law if confirmed Nov. 6 by the Florida Board of Governors.
