‘Good Life’ course serves a purpose for freshmen.

The Editorial Board misunderstood the purpose of the course, ‘The Good Life.’ The course would challenge students’ views about what ‘the good life’ is and to think about whether it exists. The class doesn’t just “give incoming freshmen a chance to bond over coursework” but has the noble goal of making students reflect on their commonly held notions.

Cutting post-doctoral health care benefits will hurt research

We are writing as current postdoctoral associates and concerned members of the UF family to communicate concerns about the upcoming change in postdoctoral health care benefits. We believe this represents a step backward in UF’s mission to become a top-tier research institution. Cutting postdoctoral benefits will make UF much less competitive in attracting the best and brightest researchers. Postdoctoral associates are the driving force behind all aspects of research, including research training for undergraduates and graduates. Postdoctoral associates complete a majority of the research that brings millions of dollars in federal research grants, and they write a significant portion of those grants.
