Oscar Braynon II, a Florida state senator who is expected to become leader of the Senate Democrats next year, recently urged Florida’s Board of Physical Therapy to continue to allow colleges to operate unaccredited physical therapy programs, The Miami Herald reported. While some believe such programs lack appropriate oversight and may be of poor quality, Braynon spoke of the importance of preserving them.
While addressing the board, Braynon didn't reveal that he is senior vice president of government and senior relations at a for-profit college, the University of Southernmost Florida. And that college announced, shortly after Braynon's appearance before the physical therapy board, that it is launching a physical therapy assistant program that is just the kind of program Braynon was lobbying to preserve. Braynon told the newspaper that he was unaware of the college's plans to start the program.
