Funding issues loom for Florida state universities - Doug Blackburn, Tallahassee.com

The 2013 session produced landmark legislation for Florida State and University of Florida, as lawmakers and the governor signed off on a bill creating preeminent universities. FSU and UF are on track to receive an additional $15 million for five consecutive years as each pursues its goal of climbing higher in the national rankings. It’s very possible, however, that during the next two months the Legislature will remake the landscape for higher education in far more dramatic ways than they did one year ago. http://www.tallahassee.com/article/20140302/POLITICSPOLICY05/303020025/Funding-issues-loom-state-universities?nclick_check=1
