    I wonder if they’re going to talk about all the extra spending in the new book or exactly what they were doing to induce students to attend… or how markers of excellence like gpa and test scores are dropping… hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
    They have like 700 students. The Florida sus has like 430,000 students so…. This is really a silly issue and just culture war clickbait.

    Your post makes absolutely no sense.

    many decide to be conservative but it’s not the norm to be a trump follower with a college degree.

    You forgot to explain how UF pushes ‘white privileged is bad.’
    Is that a required course or something?

    Have you ever been to a December ceremony? I'm guessing it won't be as crazy long as the one in May.

    I’m not disagreeing. It is diverse, it was diverse when I was there, and should continue to be diverse. Diversity is important in a university environment.

    They ruined that school. People loved it. Yes, it was a LIBERAL arts school, but Duhsatan wanted to show power over a libbie school to get rid of "woke". Another positive word made negative by the maga republicans. It's not like it was covert in what it taught. People chose to go there because it was a liberal arts college.

    Childish.

    You can't define 'woke' but you have allowed yourself to be conditioned to respond to the mere utterance. Willfully.
