As a student at UF, I am distressed to see that Aramark, the company contracted to provide food services, has seen fit to raise the prices charged by franchises in the Reitz Union and elsewhere on campus above those charged at off-campus franchise locations, especially while students are increasingly feeling financially crunched. Where is the oversight?

UF has continued to make known its desire to become one of the top 10 national institutions of higher learning. I commend the university for desiring to achieve this level of distinction. However, UF's administration seems to have eradicated the university's low number of minority faculty members. In 2008, less than 10 percent of our faculty body was black or Hispanic. While seeking to employ faculty members at the top of their fields at this institution, racial diversity must become a component.
