Legislators in Florida are messing with our state universities, wanting to undo DEI, and eliminate initiatives and programs they don't like as too "woke," generally providing "solutions" to problems that don't exist. Here's an anecdote shared by a close friend who owned his own engineering company with contracts all over the world. When his company was growing and hiring, he told me he got lots of applications from all over the country. He said he put them into two stacks: University of Central Florida engineering graduates and all other engineering graduates. He preferred hiring UCF engineering grads; claimed they were the best prepared and most likely to experience success in an industry that requires working with different cultures and people. For students that don't go to "elite" schools, state universities are the best bargain around and provide outstanding educations. And, students can wind up with a 4 year degree by starting in a community college, which is much less expensive. As a person with an undergraduate degree from the University of Texas and 2 post graduate degrees from the University of Central Florida, I agree we should place emphasis on supporting these institutions and stay out of their way.
