I'll be there with my son; I'm pulling him out of K-4 early today. Looking forward to it!

It looks like UF is cutting its computer science department. Anyone else think this is related?

Of course it is. The chronology of events will go something like this:

1.) USF Poly becomes independent. (Done)

2.) Over the next couple of years, Poly will lose money and not have accreditation (Don't kid yourself by the way, Alexander KNOWS this...)

3.) After the public has had a chance to forget about it, and because UF will already be providing 'blanket accreditation' to Poly, they will JUST HAVE to step in to save the day. After all, UF will have cut their computer science department by then - what better place to restart it than a relatively new, wholly designated, failing campus in the middle of Florida's tech corridor? UF will be given the keys and applauded for coming in and 'resurrecting' Poly by then.

4.) Poly becomes a permanent extension of UF right in the middle of USF - UCF territory.

5.) UF buys the surrounding property from Alexander to expand it's Lakeland venture.

Winners: UF and Alexander

Losers: USF and the taxpayers
