The University system is a very unique place in society. It is about the free exchange of differing ideas. There is no God or does God exist. How should we solve global warming. What is the best way to facilitate peace in the middle east? How can we best support people with disabilities? This is what the University system seeks to find out. I am proud to go to one of the top universities in the state of Florida. The University of South Florida.
Unfortunately the University of South Florida is under attack by the state legislature. The Florida Senate has proposed a 60% budget cut for the University of South Florida. This is 100% political. There is no rationale and logic behind the purposes budget. If this budget cut succeeds, it will prevent the University of South Florida to carry out its mission the expansion of knowledge around the globe. I believe that this is ultimately not going to pass, but only if we as a community stand up and fight.
As a mental health profession, I believe this will have a devastating impact on the profession . USF provides me with the knowledge necessary to treat my clients.I have the privilege of learning my craft from some of the brightest minds in the profession. This will have an impact on the delivery of this information. Ultimately, work with clients will be affected. This is not acceptable. I encourage you to contact the Senate to express your concerns about this very important issue. Let's fight for the University of South Florida.
