Seems like this moves & the state's similar moves will eventually damage UF's position as a leading academic institution. Converting New College into Hillsdale College South doesn't seem to be going well & would expect such a conversion would go worse for a multidisciplinary university such as UF.

So sad. And the engineer in me is saying it's less 10 months since Trump was inaugurated - seems very fast (but possible, I guess) to move through design, contractor selection, materials procurement, etc. Common saying - cheap, fast or good; you can only get 2 of these.
