Come to the Fall Social at St. Petersburg. UFF invites all USF faculty and professionals to Fall at Ferg's on November 1, starting at 6 pm, at Ferg's Sports Bar & Grill, 1320 Central Avenue, St. Petersburg. We will be in the back room downstairs. Come and check us out.
In September, the Florida State University System Board of Governors floated a proposal to institute a "post-tenure review" policy. The proposal quickly attracted negative reactions and disappeared, but the next meeting of the Board of Governors is on November 9 & 10, the day after the election - here at USF. We do not know what the Board may do that day, but stay tuned.
Speaking of elections...
The deadline to request a mail ballot in the general election is October 29. However, as mail ballots are already being sent out, we recommend that anyone planning on voting by mail send in their request for a mail ballot now. All counties will have early voting during October 29 - November 5; however, some counties may have additional days. And November 8 is election day.
Early voting has started in Hillsborough, Manatee, Pinellas, and Sarasota counties, and there is a site for early voting for Hillsborough County voters on USF Tampa campus: at the USF Training Center (PTB - Training Room) on 13309 USF Plum Drive, off of USF Holly Drive (C-2 on the USF Tampa campus map). Polls are open from 7 am to 7 pm. Don't forget to bring photo ID (e.g. Florida Driver's License or ID Card).
For more information for voters, see the For Voters page in the website for the Florida Division of Elections. And you can look up your county supervisor of elections here. Remember: we get the government we elect, so the burden is on us.
