Florida Polytechnic in Budget Language
February 9th, 2012 by flanewsFlorida may soon have a 12th public university.
A senate committee today gave the go ahead to language in the state budget to split the USF Lakeland campus in half and give Florida Polytechnic independent status. State Senator Steve Oelrich is on the committee that approved the language today. Oelrich doesn’t like that the senate wants to create an entire new university with budget language. The issue is next scheduled to be heard in Senator JD Alexander’s committee. Alexander is the champion of the issue. Today we asked Alexander about the issue moving forward. He told us he has nothing to say about it.
