FSU students raise money to save professors' jobs

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida State University students are raising money in hopes they can save some professors' jobs.

The Protect Our Professors fundraising campaign kicked off this past week and is expected to last about a month. The goal is to collect $100,000.

Senior class president Jill Chandler says the effort has been a "big morale-booster for the whole campus." She says professors are sending their classes e-mails, thanking them for showing concern.

Business professor Jack Fiorito points out that the fundraising goal is about the equivalent of a single faculty position. He pointed out that university officials have said they may have to lay off 200 people.

But Fiorito says he hopes the Legislature will take a cue from the student effort.

1. The Florida legislature couldn't get a clue if it hit them upside the head.

Judging from their way of dealing with everything. If you hit them on the head with a big stick, it would take half an hour before the sensation penetrated their skulls to the brain.
