In the University world athletics teams
are marking, incredibly schools get more applications after a good
football season, so that leads to the question why does a state school
subsidized by the taxpayers need to market!
Also a personal issue:
I live in the city where the University of Florida is and son got 3 B’s
in high school and all the rest were A’s and he scored 1380 on the Math
and English SAT portions he was reject by the University of Florida
(UF) but was accepted by the University of Central Florida (UCF). Since he needed to move and get an apartment to go to UCF, were he
could have lived at home had he gotten in to UF, it will cost me $50,000
extra to send him to college. He is also further away which weakens
family bonds. So I ask how does it benefit the Florida taxpayers to have a
difference in who UF and UCF will accept? My thought is that it
benefits the administration of UF to become a prestigious school but
does not benefit the tax payers.
Which lead me to post the following thoughts:
