A group of alumni from Stetson University College of Law are urging the college to publicly distance itself from Pam Bondi, the former U.S. Attorney General who was recently ousted from her position.

Why it matters

Bondi's controversial tenure as Attorney General has drawn significant criticism, and the alumni believe Stetson should not be associated with her given the college's reputation and values.

The details

The coalition of Stetson alumni are calling on the university to take steps to disassociate itself from Pam Bondi, who graduated from Stetson's law school in 1990. Bondi served as Florida's Attorney General from 2011 to 2019 before being appointed to the U.S. Attorney General role, from which she was recently removed.
