UCF’s Hitt says school “could badly use those funds”
University leaders’ plea: We need $1 billion more
University of Central Florida President John Hitt said the school “could badly use those funds.”
“This year we’re expecting a cut of between 3 and 4 percent in the base budget,” Hitt said. “It means there will be fewer class sections and more students in classes. We’re not at a crisis point there, but we’re not where we’d like to be as we’re perceived around the nation. . . . It’s not good.”
Like all Florida universities, UCF has capped freshman enrollment for the current year. But with deeper budget reductions on the horizon, Hitt said the university may be forced to reduce admissions for students who get associate’s degrees from community colleges, a historic pathway to a bachelor’s degree in Florida.

“Like all Florida universities, UCF has capped freshman enrollment for the current year” you do realize this is a problem for all universities including our school. Please remove this website, not only is it embarrassing to UCF but it is embarrassing us even more. The fact that all of your articles are poorly written and have no basis gives people even more ammo against us. Please stop embarrassing USF, not only for your sake, but for your fellow students.
