Ok, where's the articles from the local papers on these other schools about this glaring issue??? My point is that you don't see them. We here in Tampa are so lucky to have news media personnel whom are so interested in looking after our budgets that, they're willing to slice and dice our local university (which happens to be a major employer and contributor to our local economy). Their interests are self serving to say the least. Sensationalism sells but, lets not report on politics in an election year. No, lets write a slice and dice article on our College instead. Lets not cover crime corruption or even our traffic woes. Lets just help shoot down our local college at a time when they may be eligible for a huge financial boost that could only help our community. Yeah, lets stick a knife in our neighbors backs while we're at it.
My point is, these articles do little to sell papers and only harm the community in the end. As you can see that almost every school uses subsidies to some extent. So why continuously point out USF? Our local media does more harm to us then good.
