Swag at FAU
On April 1rst, Program board and a new organization call Designation put on of the most unique show on campus: a fashion show. a lot of times other organization put on a fashion at FAU nothing can compare to what occur that night. the name of the show was "Jet Lag Swag".
They embodied the sexiness at FAU, it seems that for a long time we lost that touch, but now FAU is coming back with a lot of swag. But I must say. during the show they had an intermission, right after the intermission almost everybody got out and left. to does that was stayed to watch the show, did not really understand what was really going on. some people got upset. the reason for that is because their was some come out show that night and people rather go through it than anything else. it seems that fraternity on campus has most of the crowds behind them when it comes to put on an event.
Designation the model agency on campus vow to bring sexy back on campus and they are doing just that. one thing i can say is that they have some really good sexy woman model on board i tell you; i don't really know much for the male model like that. Their event "jet Lag Swag" which they pretty much show all different cultures around the world was excellent but next they need to be a Little more organize.

Summer Tuition
So I was registering for summer class, I wanted to take two class but realized it was too expensive. When I went to account summary by term, I saw:
Matriculation - Undergraduate $328.12
Matriculation-Undergrad-Sum 3 $328.12
Local Fees-Undergrad.Res $160.12
Local Fees-UG.Res-Summer 3 $160.12
Transportation Access Fee $25.00
Lab Fee AL LANG $5.00
What is local fees? Why do I get charged every semester for my decal? There is a lab fee to take an language class?
I hate how colleges 'nickle and dime' their students.
I can only afford to take one summer class, so my graduation is being pushed off again...figures

Budget Cuts
This letter was sent to FAU students regarding budget cuts and what Pesident Brogan has planned for us on March 20, 2009:
"As Florida Atlantic University searches for ways to deal with the ongoing state budget crisis, it is important for all stakeholders in the University's future to be kept apprised of the evolution of the planning process. While I have never said that we will be able to find solutions that will please everyone, I have promised to make the budget-cutting process open, inclusive and transparent. This is a status report on the direction in which we are moving as we grapple with the most daunting financial challenge FAU has faced in its history. By the end of next year, the University will have sustained budget reductions of $45 million, a totally unprecedented financial situation.
My top priorities continue to be maintaining degree production and research capacity. To carry out necessary budget cuts while protecting these core functions, I have proposed that the following steps be taken.
- Workforce effectiveness: scrutinize the productivity of staff and faculty, and reduce the number of people serving in administrative positions
- Organizational efficiency: review all academic programs for their strategic viability, reduce and reorganize departments and colleges, and explore new organizational models
- Smart business practices: consolidate and reorganize support services on all campuses, maximize the use of contract services, and examine the federal stimulus package for benefits to FAU
On the subject of the stimulus, I would like to make clear that while we are looking forward to receiving money from this source, and we will certainly put it to good use, it will not constitute a long-term solution to our problems because it will be a one-time injection of funds. As far as we know, the stimulus will be directed toward areas such as research, construction and Pell Grants, but will likely have no effect on recurring expenses.
As painful as this whole process is, it presents us with a real opportunity to make a global assessment of FAU and decide how the University should be redesigned to best fulfill its mission in the future. We are committed to using this terribly difficult period to create a reorganized, redefined and re-energized Florida Atlantic University that will be an even more effective institution of higher education in the years ahead. Your input is most welcome. Please submit your ideas through the "Budget Q&A" link on the FAU homepage. We all must work together to shape tomorrow's FAU.
Frank T. Brogan '81
President"
I WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOUR REACTION IS!!!!!!
How does this affect you?
What would you do if you were president?

Spanish at FAU vs. PBCC
Rumor: Taking Spanish at PBCC is easier than at FAU.
True. Taking a foreign language at PBCC is easier than at FAU. Beyond it being easier, it is fun. The professors also seem to be more interactive. When learning about food the professor brings in food and a dinning room, while eating and using the utensils students seem to find it easier to comprehend the language. I'm personally taking Spanish at PBCC in the summer.
