Thanks fo the info goufgators.
Perhaps you could update the UF vs PSU numbers.

The following are the 2007 numbers:

Grand Total Points 100%

Biggest difference between schools:
1- Peer Assesment of 3.8-3.6 =.2 % value of 25% out of 100%
2- Graduation rates of 84% - 78%= 6% of value of 16% out of 100%
3- Retention rates = pretty much even for 4% out of 100%
4- Faculty resources= pretty much even for 20% out of 100%.
Need info on faculty salary & profs with highest degree.
5-Student selectivity= UF clearly ahead but only worth 15% out of 100%
6- Financial resources- Need info on spending per student.
7- Grad rate performance- plus 15 vs. plus 1?? worth 5% out of 100%
8- Alumni contribution- 21%-18% worth 5% out of 100%

TO RECAP:
UF was behind Penn State in 2007 because of:
PEER ASSESMENT @25%, GRADUATION RATES @16%,GRADUATION RATE PERFORMANCE @5% AND ALUMNI CONTRIBUTON @5%.

So how doesUF pass Penn State in 2008???
