Meet the New Boss, Angry as the Old Boss
1974 — After his installation as the next Christian president of the University of Florida, Robert Quarles Marston almost immediately developed a relationship with the now Independent Florida Alligator. The newspaper and Marston’s paths and agenda’s became increasingly entangled, and by 1978, the relationship became confrontational and dysfunctional. Alligator reporter Barry Klein was aggressively pursuing what appeared to be Marston’s unethical, and possibly illegal, business practices, and Marston was showing he was more than willing to fight back, against journalism and free speech. Same as the previous UF administration, led by the authoritative Stephen C. O’Connell.
