"When the Board voted on its 2013 Work Plan, an outline of the university’s priorities, Amirato shared his view on the university’s future, which differs from former Student Body President Robert Huffman’s.
“I embrace the fact that FAU is not a traditional university … I do not wish for us to one day be exactly like UF or FSU,” Amirato said. “I absolutely love the fact that at FAU, we are in the middle of an entire South Florida community, where we can give people the opportunity to better themselves with an education. I don’t aspire to be UF, or FSU, it’s what makes us unique."…"
Makes me wonder how hard this guy is going to work at proposing or maintaining things like the Rat's Mouth, 24-hour tailgate, etc. You might have taken part in that or, at the very least, you can appreciate their significance. Those were SG initiatives by people who believed in FAU's ability to offer a traditional college experience.

I don't think many of us want FAU to become EXACTLY like UF or FSU, but closer to their model and BCC (oops, er…Broward College). I went to both BCC and FAU and really wished it could have been more of a real or regular or "traditional" College experience rather than going to school, while working part/full time and commuting all the way from Lauderdale every day!

We need to establish our own identity with traditions that are fully baked and entrenched with repetition - not starting something new every year as we are so great at doing.
Additionally, pick a logo and stick with it. It is quite ridiculous that we have had like 10 primary athletics logo in such a short amount of time.

Funny you should mention that because as of July 1 or August 1 no organization is allowed to use the Owl, FAU, Florida Atlantic University or some form of FAU because of the way the name and logo's were used during the Geo and other protests.
So let's penalize 99 people for 1 idiot.
