Block tuition proposal would rob UF students
By Sean Johnson | Feb. 21, 2011Travis Hornsby, the author of a letter published Monday in support of block tuition, has unfortunately taken sips of the block tuition Kool-Aid. Over the past few months, I’ve heard the administration espouse the virtues of block tuition, all the while trying to sweep under the rug its dirty little secrets. The fact of the matter is this plan will cost the average student more; there is no way around it.

I am tired of hearing about the “vast majority” of students who take less than 15 credit hours because that is incorrect.

By Benjamin Dictor | Feb. 20, 2011In the spring of 2009, the Progress Party was founded in an attempt to overthrow a political system composed of an entrenched group of overly entitled elites that rendered the UF Student Government completely inaccessible to the students it promised to represent.
