Trump Front Man (Joe) 'Gruters Has to Go,' Say FSU Students

Never mind Trump University. The 'Donald temperature' is rising at a university closer to home. At least for one group of Florida State University students. And they're doing it via a flyer circulated around the campus Monday.

Joe Gruters and Donald Trump

These Seminoles want Joe Gruters, who is the Florida chair of Donald Trump's presidential campaign at the same time he sits on the FSU Board of Trustees, to resign his FSU position. The reason? Trump has refused to condemn the KKK's support of him for president. It's reason enough for Gruters to disassociate himself from -- or be disassociated by -- a university that promotes across-the-board diversity, the students say.

"This is just another instance of (Trump's) disrespect for Americans who are unlike him such as the Hispanic community, disabled individuals and women," the flyer says.

The flyer says of Gruters, "He is in direct violation of university policy by acting as a surrogate for a candidate who repeatedly puts people down based on race, religion, etc."

On Tuesday, look for more than flyers. The group says they "will be convening at the free speech zone in the union to protest Joe Gruters' place on the FSU board.

"We will be calling for his immediate resignation."

No time is given for the protest.

Sunshine State News was unable to reach Gruters Monday evening.
