1. This is Chairman of the Board Manny Fernandez’s
presentation to the Faculty Senate on March
The positive feedback from the Faculty Senators prodded
me to ask Manny to share it with a wider audience.
He kindly agreed, although with some trepidation,
as it is still a document in progress.
The many numbers below should not be taken at face value.
They appear for illustrative purposes.
Also, bear in mind that, never intended to be a stand alone document,
it serves only as one facet of his verbal presentation.

2. Taking UF to a New Level -- a board perspective --
March, 2005

3. Key Parameters “Present State”
This chart is the backbone of the presentation and has a significant amount of information.
You should take your time to review this data.
We have taken all of the critical parameters the first 2 columns compares UF with the top private institution in the country, and the average top 10 private institution. We then, turned our attention to public institution and compared us to the #1, average top 10, and finally to the public university in the 10th position, as the institution we must displace to achieve our goal.
In the next slide we begin to look at this data in more detail. But, you may want to come back to this slide to compare UF with others
We have color coded the chart to make it easier to focus the discussion. Green shaded areas are parameters we are already in the top 10 of public institutions, yellow cells are those we are within a few percentage points or in the top 20. The red parameters are the ones we are significantly behind against our competition
Let’s examine UF versus the publics in the next alide
