Is the University of Florida building an ice arena?

Question

I figure skate and I heard that UF was building a rink for their hockey team, but I can't find anything about it on the internet. I live in Florida, and I want to go to UF, but I also want to continue skating, and I don't think there is anywhere to skate near Gainsville.

Answer 1

UF isn't building anything.  They just had $42 million dollars in budget cuts last year and doing another $27 million this year and more are on the way.  Profs are jumping ship and leaving to other universities.  UF has done away with several undergrad and grad degree programs and departments.  The Asian studies program is no longer there and the African American studies has been reduced to only a couple of profs even though UF keeps on promoting these programs to seem more culturally diverse.
