- Depends on the major they CHOOSE... just like it always has.

- Depends on the major they CHOOSE... just like it always has, and for many useful majors, the placement is 100%, with top companies not just in the US, but globally. That is a new twist. Until about 20 years ago, UF grads were just a "good value" for Fortune 500 companies. Now they are actively recruited on campus. I see this in biz school, engineering, and, gasp, Ag. Lombardi started the push.
- Yes, Shands is helping people.
- Yes, we are doing good research.
- Probably more ground breaking than practical, but both. Yes, it used to be more practical, that's what run of the mill schools do. Ground breaking leads to practical, period. That said, a LOT of pioneers in "ground breaking" over the last 30 years has been by Gator grads from the "practical" era, see NVIDIA (among many, many, others0>
We get it NOLA, YOU don't like it.
No brother...I don't like rank for the sake of ranking...it's teaching the test...not testing the knowledge.
I don't like being Ultra -WOKE...BUT those doing the ranking are looking for that.
I also like HIGH STANDARD...No issue. I have ISSUE with UF is purposely keeping enrolment down to keep RANKINGS up NOT standards...
I was told that by Fuchs..."That is policy. Students will just need to study harder" "We are not looking to increase faculty or enrolment" Now I know he's stepping down...BUT he was quite clear.
So the state of Florida is increasing population...UF does not care...They are not increasing enrolment. And research will be done if "Cutting Edge" or for the highest bidder. The entire Land Grant System was predicated on "Practical Applied Research"
And @oxrageous @Detroitgator...I brought this up in the SPORTS Forum because do you want Sports NCs or not? Check your STATS, history, and Staff BIOs...The people who drive the "ELITE" status in the upper educational system...DON'T give a damn about sports, traditions (Gator Bait), unless it pushes their agenda. Who are the Top Elite Universities? Public Universities?
You can be TOP 20 and still accomplish what I'm advocating.
But I'll drop it
And @Detroitgator UGA is now starting to utilize the same research policy...Bring your wallet $$$ or don't bother
It's very hard to get that practical applied research and any school...ISU and aTm are a few
