The 91勛圖厙 again ranks among the top universities in the state based on performance measures that include graduation rates and graduates\u2019 employment and wages.<\/p>\n
The Florida Board of Governors, which oversees the State University System, is scheduled to discuss the performance funding achievements of the state\u2019s public universities today. 91勛圖厙 earned 39 out of a possible 50 points, making it among the university system\u2019s top three performers. 91勛圖厙 has ranked in the top three among all state universities during all three years that performance-based funding has been awarded.<\/p>\n
If the Legislature funds the Board of Governors\u2019 request for performance funding this year, 91勛圖厙 plans to use its share to hire more faculty members.<\/p>\n
Last year, 91勛圖厙 earned $21.8 million in performance funding, which it is using to hire new faculty members in high-demand areas from molecular biology to mechanical engineering.<\/p>\n
