I can only imagine what those 50 students are going through right now...must be hell for them
3 years later, 2/3 of them probably will not be able to get jobs... If they read this forum, they would be glad they were out of the pharmacy doom and gloom sooner than later >
Dated Feb 29. Yours was posted a week later.I think that article is out of date?
Figure you'll have at least 10-20 faculty, say 20 faculty x $150k, that's $3M. They probably pay their preceptors and count that, no idea how much they get, but still say that's almost another mil across multiple sites. Then the dean(s) no doubt earn a hefty chunk, easily accounting for that $0.3M and beyond.4.3 MILLION dollars in payroll?! WHAT?
Those are ridiculous numbers for one classDated Feb 29. Yours was posted a week later.

The end of pharmacy school expansions has to begin somewhere.

Damn, WVU going to the Big 12 really is killing the Big East...
Faculty salaries alone cost $4.2 million right now, with just one class, Sneed said.
Nice! Hey Z and WVU lets open up a pharmacy school.....
Salary, but not entire payroll. Health insurance, social security, 401k matching etc. also are going into that 150k. I know the article did say "salary" but it probably was including the entire payout.150k salary for each faculty member is too high

Some schools do have rotations their first year, or at least the summer after P1 year. Granted that it's mid april, it's not hard to imagine their rotations starting in about a month. Obviously would want to have preceptors lined up and ready to go before the rotations actually start. Class of 50 probably needs ~25 preceptors, maybe less if some are faculty too.

Oh, and they have a chitload of faculty already. 1:1 student:teacher ratio?
We have a picture in our hallway of the "founding faculty" and it's only like 10 members. We add a few more every year as more and more are needed.You have to pretty much assemble your entire faculty in order to progress through accreditation status. When my current institution was founded, it was a 15 to 20 million dollar initial investment, considering all upfront costs.

No idea on minimums. I know you just can't start out with two people and an overhead projector in a rented space above a tattoo parlor, a la HICP.

Plus low demand for pharmacists in Florida. At first, I thought it was not a bad idea for USF to have a pharmacy school since they have access to tons of health and research facilities...it's a legit university.Good riddance. Florida is a huge state but seriously, how many pharm schools does FL have already? The good ol boys at UF, FAMU, Nova, palm beach atlantic, and LECOM right? did i miss any more diploma mills? and how many grads/locations does UF have nowadays?
All red makes my head hurt.
This is OLD news... As a current USF COP student, this is behind us. Here is an article where our budget is restored.

Our 2016 Class is already full and awaiting their start in the August.
This was a huge play by the media and thanks to the hard work from everyone at USF and legislature all funding is restored and classes will continue as normal.
We also just had our ACPE meeting and everything is flowing smoothly.
Edit - If anyone has questions, I can address them via message or this forum. I am in no way fearful of my position here at this school and am very satisfied with my education.
When I am retiring and withdrawing my retirement account, I am heading to Florida for sure! Screw CA with their 9.3% tax rate... I think that's the only good thing about Florida that I can think of >_>;
