Tallahassee, Fla:
The former Florida House speaker made his formal announcement Wednesday at a meeting of the school’s board of trustees.
Two Florida State officials on Monday had told The Associated Press that Wetherell would be retiring, but he declined to verify that until the board meeting.
The 63-year-old Wetherell is a native of Daytona Beach and played football at Florida State. He returned to his alma mater as president in 2003.
Wetherell was House speaker in 1991-92. As a lawmaker he got a bill passed to construct a building housing classrooms, offices and other facilities surrounding the football stadium. It now carries his name.

There is a whole area of research centered on the relationship between crime rates and casinos. Casinos usually draw large amounts of tourists who carry large amounts of cash. Casinos usually serve free alcohol as well, which can serve to make the patrons less alert. Therefore, many believe casinos are crime “hotspots”. However, some research argues that when the casino is built with the consent of the surrounding community, it probably does not heighten the presence of crime. There is much empirical evidence that suggests some kind of relationship between crime rates and casinos. However, when observing the literature on crime and casinos, one should be aware of the research methods used. Some research has used crime rates that exclude the visiting population at risk, which would overstate the crime rate in areas with casinos.
