    They may not, but it’s the overall package of helping them on and off the field which includes the GatorMade program which was the deciding factor for a lot of commits in the last couple of years. Of course your NIL game has to be competitive.

    Why would the Wall Street Journal trash UF for Conservative positions

    i don't think any of this is political. UF's diversity score went up from 60 to 78.. However our "salary impact scored" dropped from 84 to 55. Those were the 2 biggest factors. Whatever metrics they are using to come up with these numbers. Cost of living and graduate salaries have not changed that much in florida compared to other states in the past year.

    the great con at UF is their freshman online program in my opinion -- full price right?[/QUote]

    No, the fully online undergrad programs (PaCE and UF Online) are lower cost than on-campus degree programs

    [QUOTE="gator_n_sc, post: 16826147, member: 22185"At this point it's like any regular business, with out the money from the customers (students) for tuition, the business (university) will go broke. Why not allow them a real voice?[/QUOTE]

    I was told decades ago by a university administrator (not UF)—students aren’t the customers, they are the product. Employers, and society are the customers

    We're in the football season now. We'll do academics after the season.

    That is just my guess. UF, generally highly rated by many sources, plummeted over 30 spots in a year immediately after Sasse's, a high profile conservative college leader, time.

    It seems kind of suspicious. Hopefully, WSJ will explain their actions.

    Than why has tuition costs risen 169% since 1980? It's apparently paying for a lot more than it was 44 years ago.
