Undergraduate Blues

I’ve gotten some emails from undergraduates who are a tad displeased with their UCF experience. Here are a couple of quotes:

I am fed up. I feel like I am at a fake university.

It's like UCF spent tons of money that they couldn't back up if crap hit the fan and now the students have to pay for it.

SPAM Folder

I try to respond to all reasonable emails, but for some reason a lot of legitimate email goes to my SPAM folder so I may not see it for a while.

John Hitt Could Learn Something From Jim Drake

Brevard Community College President Jim Drake just got a huge raise. During these difficult economic times, I’m not sure why he would get a 50-plus percent raise. But Drake has decided to turn this ridiculous decision into a positive by donating his raise to help BCC students buy textbooks. Considering that Drake used to be a worthless high level administrator at UCF, this is shocking news.

Here’s a real inside baseball question. Does anyone think Dave Harrison would have been this generous?

Who is Going to Review His Time Sheet?

David Mealor was elected the Mayor of Lake Mary. I wonder if this position will take time away from his UCF job as Associate Vice President of Doing Nothing.
