The Professor of Desire: During his years at Florida International University, Trump's Secretary of State Nominee Marco Rubio Brought New Meaning to the Term “Grading on a Curve”

Sources: Then-Senator Rubio had sex with multiple undergrads he taught. Rubio was an easy grader, but one student who declined the opportunity got a B, which probably wasn't a coincidence.

As a public service, I’m publishing this story about scripture-quoting family values manMarco Rubio, which merges the key details from two stories I published in 2019 and adds a bit of additional background info. I urge anyone with knowledge of Rubio’s alleged sex spree at FIU to email me at MarcoRubioSex69@protonmail.com. To read my last PSA about Rubio, which recounts his time as an innocent youngster walking guard dogs for narcotraffickers, click here.

Florida Senator Marco Rubio, who President-elect Donald Trump has nominated to be secretary of state in his administration, is a longtime advocate of “family values,” but like so many of his moralizing political predecessors, he apparently doesn’t practice what he preaches. While working at Florida International University (FIU) between 2008 and 2015, Rubio had sex with an assortment of female undergrads he taught at a Coral Gables condo near Dadeland Mall, sources with direct knowledge of events told me.

Afterwards, Rubio, who was elected to the Senate in 2010, would generally go home to his wife and family, and the women would head out as well. However, if one of his students got too drunk, kindly Professor Rubio allowed them to spend the night at the condo, one source told me.

Rubio’s role at FIU was controversial from start to finish. He was initially paid $69,000 a year — which is either an incredible coincidence or an inside joke — when some adjuncts were getting paid $3,000 per course. By 2015, his pay had declined to $23,448, but he reportedly did little in return for the money other than give lectures to a class he co-taught that met for less than three hours a week, even though FIU salary forms described him working 20 hours weekly,” the Tampa Bay Times reported that year.

"Time in the classroom is only a part of what faculty members do," an FIU spokeswoman told the Times. "They must stay current and prepare for class, as well as meet with students outside of class time." Rubio was certainly available to meet with students outside of the classroom, though getting sloshed and having sex with undergrads probably wasn’t what the spokeswoman had in mind.

The headline above the Times’s story was “Marco Rubio drew strong student reviews, but skimped on job requirements as FIU professor.” The nation’s next secretary of state, if confirmed by the senate, did receive generally favorable reviews from six FIU students who shared their thoughts at ratemyprofessors.com.

“Super interesting, and extremely easy,” wrote one. “Pretty sure I'm getting an A.” “Probably the most amazing professor I have ever had,” said another fan of Professor Rubio. “Would definitely take him again.”

Rubio is still listed as a fellow at FIU’s Steven J. Green School of International & Public Affairs. FIU didn’t reply to a request for comment for this story and Senator Rubio’s office and the Trump-Vance transition unit didn’t either. If I hear from any of them, I’ll update this story. Neither the university nor the senator’s office replied to requests for comments in 2019 either.

Students at FIU can still count on a helping hand from Rubio, who is currently a fellow at the university along with a number of other horrible human beings, including David Kramer, executive director of the George W. Bush Institute and a former Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor.

FIU graduates and other sources told me Rubio’s sex spree was no secret on campus, with two saying he had sex with multiple women during a single semester in 2013. He was known to grade on a curve that was particularly generous towards his bedmates, while one undergrad who turned him down got a B, which is unlikely to have been a coincidence.

Based on what I was told, Rubio wasn’t as creepy as disgraced former congressman and Clinton family crony Anthony Weiner, who spent 21 months in prison for sexting several young women, including a minor, and is reportedly eyeing a political comeback. Rubio had consensual sex with his partners, some who bragged about it on campus. “They all wanted to fuck a US senator and they were not 15-year-olds, they were 21-year-olds,” one source told me. “He’s not a creep, he’s just a shitty husband. This person said Professor Rubio “got a tent in his pants” when an attractive undergrad walked into his classroom.

Rubio was notorious for not turning up to vote in the senate. I’ve been told that in at least one case, he didn’t vote because he was giving his FIU students-bedmates an exam, so he preferred to chill in his classroom in sunny Florida instead of traveling to Washington to vote.

Rubio, of course, isn’t the first and won’t be the last politician to exploit his political power to bag bedmates. But his feverish promotion and exploitation of “family values” makes his behavior utterly hypocritical and cynical. Even by the lowly standards of congress, his conduct at FIU was about as low as you can sink.
