1. They just cannot stop themselves.
No impulse control whatsoever. Perhaps some repuke lurker here might enjoy regaling the assembled regarding "meritocracy"? It would be vastly entertaining.

3. The Florida legislature is punishing UF for their bad behavior, too...
There are a number of reasons, but UF is really catching hell. Not admitting the kids of Republican elite is the last straw...this is state wide, but they are picking on UF. Guess who votes for their budget.

Budget cuts may cost UF summer classes
By LEANA MORALES, Alligator Writer
Following state funding cuts, UF students may have to take the summer off whether they like it or not.

The Florida Legislature has slashed funding from the state's public universities for a second time, bringing UF's total budget cuts from about $34 million to about $40 million. The short change stems from property tax shortcomings.

UF President Bernie Machen has mentioned cutting summer classes as a possible solution to UF's financial woes, said Steve Orlando, UF spokesman.
