DeSantis on Friday appointed Jeff Vahle, president of Disney World Resorts, to join the University of Central Florida board of trustees, an unpaid role that nonetheless wields power in the adoption of university policies.

Vahle, who graduated from the private Rollins College with a master’s degree in business administration, currently serves on the Rollins College board of trustees and previously served as a member of the board of directors for the charitable nonprofit Give Kids the World, according to a news release from the governor’s office. His appointment to the board of trustees for UCF, the state’s largest public university by student enrollment, is subject to confirmation by the Florida Senate.
