It's been in USF's official strategic plan since at least 2007 and in that time we haven't even been nominated for a vote on consideration.

AAU any day now, Big 10 shortly thereafter. How does the AAU process work and how often do they meet and vote on such matters? Are we realistically making any strides on that goal of getting into the AAU? Any measurables? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two of the big measurables, 6-year graduation rate and student/teacher ratio, we have our work cut out for us. As Jtrue mentioned, AAU is a goal, but it's one that's way off on the horizon. It wouldn't surprise me to see us get an OCS before we even sniff the formal AAU application process. I hope I'm wrong about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
