I wonder how many people would be effected by this. I've worked at FAU for almost a year..can I be grandfatherd in? lol. They need to find out how many people would be effected and then come up with a report that shows how the local economy would be hit as well.
Given the influx in interest, HIGHLY doubt you are in jeopardy…

Hopefully!
You made a comment earlier in the Conference Changes thread about how you could assure that our incoming class would have much higher test scores. Can you elaborate? For instance, what do you think the final GPA will be and are we already in waitlist mode here in February?

Not to be inbsensitive, but the delimna is pretty simple: when you get used to handouts, you end up with a poorly run system.
There is no profit accountability, as in the private sector. As a result, your budget is not tied to true demand, but rather social "goodwill" from the hand of the Government.
This is why you do not hear of these types of things in a private University setting.
"In fulfillment of its promise to put a university education within the reach of everyone in South Florida who has the desire and the ability to earn a four-year degree"
You dont hear of these things with private universities because they dont serve the same purpose as a public university. I am sure St. Andrews middle school faces different challanges than Boynton Beach Middle School…doesn't mean that making all schools private is the right thing to do.
That comment in quotes is VERY important to our community. Whatever they need to do to keep the promise of that quote is fine with me.

Re: Proposed Senate Budget Cuts
A study released late last year shows that FAU contributes $4 billion to the economy of its six-county service region, and that figure promises to grow as our medical school continues its development and our new football stadium becomes an active hub of sports activities. By every measure, FAU is poised to advance to a whole new level of service, contributing to the strong educational infrastructure that is needed for Florida to make the critically important transition from an economy reliant on agriculture and tourism to one based on the clean industries that are emerging from 21st-century technologies. But FAU's growth - and the growth of our entire economy - will be stopped in its tracks if the Senate moves forward with its shortsighted, destructive and ultimately self-defeating slashing of the higher education budget.

Agree, but they also post a profit and escape the "hand of leaness" passing over.
Don't get me wrong, love my school and always will…just a shame that this is happening.
