    A Mission Leap for Florida's Colleges Is the New Florida College System Cutting-Edge Or Overreaching? by Cynthia Barnett

    The Issues, People and Ideas that Define Florida Business HIGHER EDUCATION: STATE COLLEGES A Mission Leap for Florida's Colleges Is the new Florida College System cutting-edge or overreaching? by Cynthia Barnett Twenty of the 28 colleges have taken the "community" out of their names, and 19 schools now offer bachelor's degrees. The systemwide change in mission came as the result of politics rather than any sort of long-term planning. [Photo: Miami Dade Community College] [Photo: Miami Dade Community College] When Michael Fernandez decided to return to college for a bachelor's degree four years ago, the emergency-dispatch trainer for the Coral Gables Police Department narrowed his choices to two: A criminal justice degree from four-year Florida International University or a public safety management bachelor's from Miami Dade College, one of the former community colleges that now offer four-year degree programs. Fernandez chose MDC because its offering was "much more specific to my field." He received his diploma this spring, a member of the only graduating class in Florida with a commencement address delivered by President Barack Obama. Fernandez's degree -- and the school's ability to arrange a presidential send-off for its graduates -- reflects the ambitions of MDC and the 27 other colleges in what's now called the Florida College System. Over the past decade, Florida's community colleges "have made monumental shifts in expanding their mission," says Deborah Floyd, an education professor at Florida Atlantic University who has written a book about the national trend of community colleges offering baccalaureate degrees.

  • Reinvesting in Florida's Public Higher Education Institutions

    Reinvesting in Florida's Public Higher Education Institutions

    BACK TO SCHOOL: REINVESTING IN FLORIDA’S PUBLIC HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS September 2018 Research Institute on Social and Economic Policy Center for Labor Research and Studies Florida International University Miami, Florida 1 Executive Summary In Florida, current levels of public higher education funding reflect a pervasive disinvestment in higher education institutions. State funding for public higher education has declined between academic years 2000-01 and 2016-17 while the cost of attendance has increased dramatically. In effect, the state is asking students and their families to shore up the state’s disinvestment in public higher education. Importantly, the disinvestment in public higher education in Florida was not driven by the Great Recession. Reinvesting in Florida’s public higher education institutions will prove net positive to the state’s economy and fiscal revenues while preparing for future job growth in occupations that require college degrees. Furthermore, reinvesting in Florida’s public higher education means promoting greater economic opportunity and prosperity for families and the state as a whole. Ultimately, Florida’s economy will suffer without adequate state funding to ensure that everyone is afforded the opportunity to pursue higher education in Florida. This report will explain 1) how Florida policymakers’ disinvestment in public higher education began in the early 2000s; 2) how college affordability impacts families across all of Florida’s counties; and 3) how greater funding of public higher education institutions yields great economic and fiscal benefits to the state while also improving employment opportunities. Key Findings: 9.2 percent of Florida’s total state expenditures went toward higher education in FY 2017, the lowest level of spending in the Southeast.
  • Our First 100 Years College of Education 1906-2006

    Our First 100 Years College of Education 1906-2006

    1 Dean’s Welcome Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire. –William Butler Yeats arely does one have the opportunity to be the presiding dean as the first 100 years come to Rclosure, and it’s certainly not an experience I will be privileged to have again. The history of this college is rich with examples of educational innovations and stories that inspired generations of alumni and friends of the College to light their own fires across the many career and life paths they have chosen. In the opening Foreword, former dean Ben Nelms does a wonderful job of setting the tone for readers as they journey back through decades of change. We hope this booklet will become a cherished keepsake that preserves people’s memories of the first 100 years, as the College of Education at the University of Florida gears up to meet the challenges of the 21st century, and celebrate its Bicentennial in 2106. Catherine Emihovich Dean, 2002-present 2 3 Foreword lumni of the University of Florida College of Education have vivid memories of the College and recount them with obvious relish. They Aremember Norman Hall, its weird nooks and crannies, cavernous classrooms, yellow tile and wood paneling, its historic facade, graceful live oak, and — graduates from more recent years — New Norman and the courtyard. But more important, they remember people, the faculty especially: sometimes the eccentric, the cranky, the colorful, but usually the master teacher, the accomplished professional, the lasting influence, names of nationally known figures and beloved leaders around the state.

    KRWG Quarterly Program Topic Report April, May, June

    KRWG Quarterly Program Topic Report April, May, June 2009 INTRODUCTION Through meetings with local community leaders, review of area newspapers and other publications, and production of a nightly newscast (Monday to Friday), the staff of KRWG-TV have determined that the following issues are of primary importance to the citizens within our coverage area: Health/Welfare/Safety – Petty crimes and drive-by shootings are an on-going problem in this area. While the over-all crime rate is no higher than the national average, low-income families and a higher than average teenage population contribute to the gang and crime problem. The chronic low-income family problem also results in health and welfare issues including an above average social services caseload and a high number of welfare cases handled by the local hospital. Culture – The mix of Hispanic/Native American/ and Anglo cultures provide many positive attributes to life in southern New Mexico. However, this same mix results in an on-going undercurrent of conflict among the cultures. Cultural and historical understanding is of on-going importance in this area. Business - With an above-average unemployment rate and a below-average income level, the status of the business/agricultural community in southern New Mexico is an important and on-going issue. Concern over the constant issue of defense spending at the federal level is ongoing in this area due to the presence of several military and NASA installations. Dona Ana county is also actively seeking new businesses and a strong infrastructure exists near the Santa Teresa Border Crossing, which is also a source of news and related issues.
