As an alum, I think the present administration and BOT are a bunch of clueless, trust fund baby azzholes who don't have a clue about running a university's academic or athletic programs. Academically, the school is slipping out of the top 50 with the med school mess dragging everything else down. In athletics, we have a MORON as AD and more cheap hire morons as coaches in every program except men's and women's basketball.
The result: this so-called university sucks in every way imaginable except for the nice weather. It's a crummy commuter school with no future in serious academics or athletics. In fact, I predict the place will finally be turned over to FIU. The school is outrageously expensive for the sort of educational experience it offers. How much longer are people going to pay Princeton-like tuition for an education they could get for much less at most of the state's public colleges? It's not as bad as FSU, but it's not THAT much better, either.
I had hoped that Shalala and company would have raised the school's profile in every field when they first got started, but, sadly, I don't see much of a result anyone can be proud of from that bunch of posers.
It just sucks and I hate that this has happened, but it is what it is. Just so deeply disappointed in this school and the people that run it. No more of my hard earned dollars will go to this black hole of mindboggling incompetence.
