This followed a private donation of $10 million to the university for the purpose of creating a dental school. On May 26, 2011, the Board voted to approve the new college. The current dean of the UCF College of Medicine, Dr. Deborah C. German, will lead the effort to create the college.In October 2011, the Florida Board of Governors rejected the UCF College of Dental Medicine proposal, citing a lack of need demonstrated. Since an expansion of the University of Florida College of Dentistry was also rejected by the Florida Board of Governors, it was suggested that the two universities form a partnership to both allow the University of Florida to expand its College of Dentistry and the University of Central Florida to establish its own College of Dentistry. UCF to re-submitted its proposal for the College of Dentistry in November 2011.
