Students, faculty speak out

“We already have a terrible reputation that UCF means ‘U Can’t Finish,’ and this is going to exacerbate it.”
— Patrick Murphy, English professor

“What’s going to happen when they cut [radiological sciences] is that it’s going to fund a whole bunch of students to go to [community college]. Would you have someone with a four-year degree taking your X-rays or someone with nine months of school?”

— Mallory Panda, junior, radiological sciences

“ … And they vote incorrectly and close vital programs and important programs. You’ll be there to witness, as all good believers in truth do; you will be able to testify what happened today and who voted how and remember.”

— Dawn Trouard, English Professor

“The damage is being done right now, and the correct thing to do is just exactly what people are doing, which is to call attention to it, to bring it up to them, to say, ‘This is not OK, this is not right, this is not right for students, this is not right for the curriculum … you didn’t involve faculty in doing this.’” 

— Thomas Auxter, statewide president of United Faculty of Florida and philosophy professor at the University of Florida
