Florida Lt. Gov. Jeanette Nunez expected to be named interim FIU president

MIAMI - Florida Lt. Gov. Jeanette Nunez is expected to resign as early as this week to become the interim president of Florida International University, five sources have told CBS News Miami.

A "special meeting," has been called for Friday morning by the chairman of the FIU Board of Trustees to discuss "Presidential Search and Selection," according to the agenda. The current FIU President, Kenneth Jessell, still has a contract through the end of the year, but sources tell CBS News the trustees will name Nunez the interim president effective immediately.

"It is imminent," one source said told CBS News.

"She is available now," another source added.

Will there be Commissar of Cheese? We could suppress cheeses of nationalities we don't like.

How about Donuts? No more eclair.

Could probably monetize by permitting food products and licensing regulation. Imagine what the Potato Chip Controller would go for.
