Taking more classes not “burdensome”

By Brett Wager | Jan. 19, 2011

Ben Meyers’ wildly unfounded castigation of block tuition as an impediment to students’ ability to obtain a “complete education” is a dreadfully poor and specious evaluation. Meyers rants about how we want our UF graduates to be diverse, well-rounded and engaged citizens of the world, suggesting that this can somehow only be accomplished by means of a course load of 12 or fewer credits a semester. This offensive insinuation that one extra class a semester would indisputably cripple the average student embarrassingly underestimates the tenacity, ambition and work ethic of the Gator Nation. Simply taking a course load that will allow students to actually graduate on time should not be characterized by our SG officials as a “burdensome” challenge. Block tuition rewards the overachievers, incentivizes the slow movers and continues to allow the flexibility for students to learn at their own pace on their own dime.
