Jan. 27, 2011In Thursday’s Alligator, it was incorrectly reported that the Board of Governors will vote on the proposal to implement block tuition at its February meeting. The proposal will not be on the agenda because the Board of Trustees has not yet sent it because of a request for more information about block tuition. The proposal may be sent later this year and considered for a vote.

Corporate model a detriment to academia
By Joseph Dillon Ford | Jan. 27, 2011I read with dismay the article “Students band together to save professor’s job” in your Jan. 25 issue. I do not know lecturer David Small, who, after 11 years, is being unaccountably dismissed from his post in UF’s department of computer and information science and engineering. Evidence suggests he is an excellent educator who is much appreciated by his students.

Student loses everything in apartment fire
By Jon Silman | Jan. 27, 2011In those bleary-eyed minutes between 8:49 and 8:53 a.m., there was just an eerie calm. When I look back on it, I want to say I knew.
