The intent of these lists be it Forbes or US News is solely to sell magazines.  The unfortunate part is that the public does value the opinions expressed in them. 

 

With that all said, USF has some problems.  The graduation rate needs improving, the ratio of Grad students to Undergrads isnt comparable to more reputable Universities, those PhD's that USF does produce are not in demand by other reputable Universities and lastly Judy and crew need to accept that USF will never be an AAU member.

 

I'm confident that the University has nowhere to go but up, but I think we should be focused on building a foundation before reaching for the stratosphere.

Building the foundation is the step we're on to reaching the stratosphere.

 

If it wasn't for Judy's vigorous effort to reach AAU, the University wouldn't be close to where it is in regards to the improvements that have been made since I graduated in 2007.  

 

Hell, I got a Chem E degree in 4 years with a 3.0+ GPA and I don't think I could even get in to the University at this point.  

 

Will we make AAU, I'd say it's unlikely,  but there's no fault in making it a lofty target.  We're a lot closer than we were even 5/6 years ago when I left.

I've only been in Tampa for 6 years and finished Grad work at USF recently.  It's good to hear they've made progress...
