Does FSU have a better president than the University of Florida?

The answer is "quite possibly". An editorial by TCPalm.com notes the contrast between UF's financial situation and that of FSU.

Bernie Machen is the sixth highest paid university presidents in the country but has done nothing to get cost of living increases for faculty and has completely ignored the plight of UF staff. Faculty are actively seeking employment elsewhere. Contrast this with FSU president T.K. Wetherell, who has obviously not created such a top-heavy and costly administration and has managed to build up a $90 million rainy-day fund.

Hey F.S.U.! Want to swap?
