I was disappointed to read in The Beacon this week a commentary by Brandon Wise, who seems to rejoice in the troubles currently upon University of Miami’s athletics and suggests that FIU can use this to its advantage.
At FIU we are building a clean and competitive athletic program that is already well on its way to national prominence, having won our first bowl game and a Sun Belt Conference title last year alone. It is not in the character of a proud Panther to use someone else’s troubles to advance in the classroom or on the field.
FIU’s dedicated faculty and staff, 46,000 hardworking students, and 160,000-strong alumni base generate more than enough energy to power our own spotlight.
Sincerely,
Mark B. Rosenberg
President of Florida International University
