Although it's hardly done deal that the massive budget cuts for USF listed by the Florida Senate will happen (the House cuts aren't nearly as harsh), there is undoubtedly supreme concerns about what happens next on the Fowler Avenue campus this Tuesday.
The overwhelming message that school president Judy Genshaft and members of USF's Board of Trustees Monday night was for everyone who gives a hoot to contact state legislators and tell them not to support the proposed 58 percent cut.
Some legislators however, hardly need to receive the message, as they've already expressed their support for the institution against the power play being demonstrated by Republican Senate Budget Chairman J.D. Alexander.
Two of those legislators are Bay area based Senators whose terms will in Tallahassee soon: Pasco County's Mike Fasano and Polk County's Paula Dockery.
