I do. My entire USF tenure was in the IT program at USF Lakeland. This was the goal the entire time, to make it a satellite UF campus - Polk County and Lakeland is a huge UF area, and the good ole boy system is alive and well. The BS they pulled finagling poly away from USF and that PCC campus, their endgame was always to make it tied to UF somehow - they tried to pull that early on under the guise of using the UF accreditation umbrella and that failed spectacularly, and there was that county commish who was tied to Ben Hill Griffin/Alico (who benefitted immensely from selling land to make way for FGCU) who was shady too (Alexander).

I got the hell out, only ever go back to Polk to visit the folks and most of the time they come to me.

 

Edit - also, this goes to show the entire FL Poly scheme was built with intentions in mind and now that it's been considered a failure to some and a tax burden to others, they're trying to save it. These are the same people who are forcing toll roads to no where conveniently along their and their buddies' old land in the name of "rural sprawl and commerce innovation".

Is this something we can vote on?  Or are you talking about voting in general?

I worked at USF-Sarasota back in the day when we also had regional campuses in St. Pete, Lakeland and Fort Myers. My feeling always was that the regional campuses - maybe with the exception of St. Pete - were nothing but a drain on main campus resources.

In general. We all need to know what local and State reps are doing.
