State Performance Metrics

Bat,
Buildings and the academic substance that make them useful are 2 different things.

Yes, FSU has GREATLY improved it's campus. Beautiful, great architecture, great improvements.

Academically....has FSU asked for items from the state that improve academics....maybe, maybe not.

Despite FSU getting an injection of $400 Million from Taxol in the 90s and an add of a med school....here are the performance metrics the state is using to determine funding. Most are STEM based:

UF 44
USF 42
UCF 39
FIU 39
FGCU 38
FAU 37
UWF 37
UNF 36
FSU 36


I have yet to see FSU address these scorings in depth.....let alone communicate a plan to fix them.


UF has hit over $700 million in research and USF over $440 million and FSU just fell to $200 Million.


The suggestions of the 2006 Hasselmo consult never addressed by FSU.


Our current president has not even mentioned attaining full mission med school despite having requested and received that for UCF WHILE he sat on FSU's board.


Has FSU asked for buildings? Sure, new dorms, new parking garages,etc. Is FSU a research haven of new buildings? No. It has done OK....my guess is without Taxol $$$....less than OK.

Without the academic substance within them......FSU is falling behind and I haven't seen our BOT look at much beyond the athletic department's revenue future.

FSU has hired 2 presidents in the last 10 ish year based on politics......neither has requested, let alone land, a big ticket academic item that was claimed they would prior to being hired. During that same time, I bet every major school, and some non major schools, in this state have requested and received something.

FSU is sitting on it's hands. Passing out degrees while having a goal of "top 25" (without any actionable game plan) seems to be the ceiling of FSU's ambition
