I missed the closing of the legislative session. Can someone provide an update on how much money FIU is receiving from the 2007 session.
Did we get funding for the medical school? What about funds for additional buildings?
Did UM get the $70 M for their genetics institute?

I read that FIU got about $5.3M to continue moving forward with the Medical School and that UM got the ~$80M for its medical funding.
However all of this is predicated on the Legislature passing the budget, which was not done, as they will reconvene for a Special Session next month to discuss the property tax issue.
So until the budget is signed by the Governor, nothing is in stone.

$80 million to a private institution! That is ridiculous. 11 public universities and a private school gets the money. Completely absurd.

That is absurd. But no worries, we'll be picking up the bulk of that soon enough.
