[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here.  Proud liberal with even more liberal and proud adult children, one of whom seriously considered NCF as a high school senior nearly two decades ago before going to a top private liberal arts college.  Here’s my question:

Isn’t it fair to say, putting politics and ideology aside, that it really IS true that the school has struggled in recent years?  While most good schools - and nearly all Florida state schools - have seen applications and admissions standard skyrocket, things have been stagnant / declining at NCF for years.  Few students who are qualified for admission to top schools now are seriously considering NCF.  UF’s standards are much higher now than NCF’s and historically it was the opposite.

I’m not saying that admissions standards are the be all and end all, but they do serve as a proxy for how a school is progressing.  And with NCF being a state school and with a state’s budget being limited, why isn’t it fair for the state to take a look at what it might do to make NCF more competitive in the educational marketplace?[/quote]

If that's really your concern "proud liberal," then you might be interested to know that enrollment increased 30% last year, the first full year the now-fired President was in office.[/quote]
