Editorial The BOT joins the state in piling budgets on students’ backs

ere we go again. The state, and now the university, has Hdumped all the responsibility of keeping higher edu- cation in Florida relevant on the students. At the seemingly annual UNF Board of Trustees tuition hike meeting March 20, the BOT did it again. Next year, UNF students will pay 15 percent more in tuition. Just as they did last year, and the year before that and the year before that. It’s starting to get old. This year, the BOT had extra pressure on it to raise tuition by the full 15 percent because the state of Florida decided not to mandate a tuition increase, with the assumption that each university would ask its students itself. So UNF felt its hands were tied. And to be fair, it would have been tougher to cut money from elsewhere in the university than ask the students to up the value of their electronic checks. But with a pay cut here and another year with an old computer there, the money surely could be found. Unfortunately, the BOT and UNF administration have made it clear that they don’t value the students. To his credit, Student Body President Matt Brockelman was as persistent and forward as could reasonably be ex- pected of a student representative in a room full of wealth and power. He prepared a lengthy powerpoint detailing the tuition increases for the last four years, and exactly what that meant for students’ budgets. He asked numerous ques- SPENCER GOLDBACH | SPINNAKER tions of the administration, asking them to specifically de- tail for the board what they would do if they didn’t get ad- those tuition hikes.

J.T. Townsend lays the foundation

By Dargan Thompson Assistant Features Editor

In his senior year at Episcopal High School, J.T. Townsend made a tackle dur- ing a football game and found he could not get up. At first, Townsend thought his lung had collapsed, but he soon found out it was a spinal cord injury; an injury that made him a quadriplegic. The injury occurred in 2004, and in the months and years following, he and his family faced a lot of new dif- ficulties and expenses. Townsend said they received a lot of support from the Jacksonville community. Townsend, now a UNF sports manage- ment senior, recently decided it was time to start giving back.

Professors by class time, authors by vacation time

By Maggie Seppi Assistant News Editor

At UNF, there are well-liked professors who students rave about for years to follow, as well as those who are given a low rating on Rate My Professor, deeming them and their classes things to avoid perpetually. Their reputations as professors are spread in various ways, but their reputa- tions as authors are often never discussed, if even discovered, by students. However, numerous UNF professors write and even get published in their spare time, an activ- ity that requires a delicate balance of writ- ing and, well, everything else. Professor and Chairman of UNF’s English Department Sam Kimball authored “The Infanticidal Logic of Evolution and Culture,” a piece focusing on the argument that any living thing must avoid wasteful- ness and that such economization is infan- ticidal in its implications. Kimball said for him, writing is a com- plicated process. However, he was able to incorporate his writing in his classroom by writing on a topic relevant to the lessons he was teaching at the time. The book itself was not implemented in his classroom, due to its high price, but it is available elsewhere for anyone interested in checking it out. Although Kimball has not received any royalties, due to the fact that those often SEAN MURPHY | SPINNAKER are not awarded until the individual has Michael Hallett writes “Private Prisons in America,” a book that students can find inside the UNF Bookstore. He also penned two other books. his or her piece printed a second time, he enjoyed his time spent writing. “Writing a book is a series of setbacks time on the set to get a feel for what it was a literary journal now going on 10 years “This was a labor of love, not a labor for really, with the writing and rewriting,” like to oversee the production of the films. of existence. money,” Kimball said.
