USF Gets Rare 100% Score By Accreditation Body

[Ricky the Bull]

Congrats to the faculty and staff!

Wow, very impressive.

 

Gets us a little closer to that elusive AAU invite. Go Bulls!

Some times you just gotta lay down the big ****.

Decreasing our student-professor ratio and increasing our 6-year graduation rates will accelerate our chances at AAU inclusion moreso than acheiving a 100% score for accreditation. This is a great bragging point though.

Both of those can 'easily' be accomplished simply by accepting fewer students!

True, but the law requiring us to accept in-state JuCo AA's might hold us back compared to other states' schools, no?

Judy loves SACS......COC.

Not that familiar wtih this law (didn't do a CC)... I thought you were simply guranteed admission to a 4 year school, perhaps offering your degree track, not any specific one. Wouldn't most of those we don't deem academically qualified fall to one of those UWF like schools?

 

Also I'd be curious if folks who already get their AA are a primary cause of low graduation rates... not having any data to base it on intuitively I would think accepting a larger mix of students already successfully completing an AA degree would increase your graduation rate.

Not if they spent 20 years getting their AA...

Good point on the AA's.  I would think there would be a greater number of working people getting AA's on a part-time basis in larger metro areas (e.g. Tampa and Orlando) than, say, Gainesville or Tallahassee ,and continue to be part-time as they transition to the local 4-year school so that they can keep their current jobs.
