governor and regents kirk vs the court Florida ' s Governor Claude Kirk. Florida ' s grand-standing Governor Claude Kirk spent much of 1969-70 using education as an issue on the campaign trail. When the United States Supreme Court ruled that 16 years was enough to integrate, (Brown vs Board of Education had called the integration in 1954), Kirk claimed he would suspend local education officials in two counties if they carried out the court ' s order. Kirk was then assailed by State Superintendent of Public Instruction Floyd Christian and eventually relaxed his threats. The Governor was a frequent visitor to campus and was a feature speaker at Accent `70 in February. Bearly a month before that visit, an Alligator editorial had called for his resignation in connection with the integration issue. The state ' s Board of Regents coordinated the university system of Florida. The nine Regent members serving terms ranging up to nine years, are all appointed by the Governor and meet each month to determine system policy involving curriculum, personnel, finance and administration. The Governor and one his daughters. Kirk and O ' Connell tour the university facilities. 28
