Florida State University ( Florida State oder FSU ) ist eine Forschungsuniversität für öffentliche Raum- und Seeförderer in Tallahassee, Florida. Es ist ein hochrangiges Mitglied des State University Systems von Florida. Sie wurde 1851 gegründet und befindet sich auf dem ältesten zusammenhängenden Hochschulstandort im Bundesstaat Florida. [2] [4]
Die Universität wird von der University of Michigan als Forschungsuniversität eingestuft Carnegie-Stiftung zur Förderung der Lehre. [11] Die Universität besteht aus 16 verschiedenen Hochschulen und mehr als 110 Zentren, Einrichtungen, Laboren und Instituten, die mehr als 360 Studiengänge anbieten, einschließlich professioneller Schulprogramme. [12] Die Universität verfügt über ein jährliches Budget von über 1,7 Milliarden US-Dollar und einen jährlichen wirtschaftlichen Einfluss von über 10 Milliarden US-Dollar. [13] [14] Im Bundesstaat Florida befindet sich das einzige nationale Laboratorium Floridas, das National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, und der Geburtsort des kommerziell nutzbaren Krebsmedikaments Taxol. Die Florida State University betreibt auch das John & Mable Ringling Museum of Art, das State Art Museum in Florida und einen der größten Museums- und Universitätskomplexe der Nation. [15] Die Universität ist von der Southern Association of Colleges und Schools (SACS) akkreditiert.
Für 2019 US. News & World Report rangierte Florida State als 26. beste öffentliche Universität in den Vereinigten Staaten in der Kategorie der nationalen Universitäten. [16] Die Florida State University ist eine von Floridas drei Bundesstaaten, die als "herausragende Universitäten" bezeichnet werden.
Die intercollegiate-Sportmannschaften der FSU, allgemein bekannt unter ihrem Spitznamen "Florida State Seminoles", treten in der National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), Division I, und der Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) an. In ihrer 113-jährigen Geschichte haben die US-amerikanischen Sportwettkämpfe von Florida State 20 nationale Leichtathletikmeisterschaften gewonnen, und Seminole-Athleten haben 78 einzelne nationale NCAA-Meisterschaften gewonnen. [17]
Geschichte
1819 wurde das Florida Territory an die Vereinigten Staaten abgetreten von Spanien als Bestandteil des Vertrags von Adams-Onis. [18] Das Territorium wurde konventionell von der Appalachicola oder später den Suwannee-Flüssen in Ost- und Westgebiete aufgeteilt. Die Florida State University ist auf einen Plan des US-Kongresses von 1823 zur Schaffung eines Hochschulsystems zurückzuführen. [19] Die Verfassung von Florida von 1838 kodifizierte das grundlegende System, indem es Land für die Schulen zur Verfügung stellte. [20] Im Jahr 1845 wurde Florida der 27. Staat der Vereinigten Staaten, der die Umsetzung der Ressourcen und Absichten des Kongresses von 1823 in Bezug auf die Ausbildung in Florida erlaubte.
Die Gesetzgebung des Staates Florida sah in einem Gesetzgebungsgesetz vom 24. Januar 1851 die Errichtung der beiden Lerneinrichtungen auf den gegenüberliegenden Seiten des Suwannee River vor. Die Legislative erklärte den Zweck dieser Institutionen, "die Unterweisung von sowohl männlichen als auch weiblichen Personen in der Kunst, alle verschiedenen Zweige, die eine gute gemeinsame Schulbildung betreffen, zu unterrichten, und als nächstes den Unterricht in den mechanischen Künsten in Landwirtschaft, in der Agrarchemie, in den Grundgesetzen und in Bezug auf die Rechte und Pflichten der Bürger. " [21] Bis 1854 hatte die Stadt Tallahassee eine Schule für Jungen mit dem Namen Florida Institute eingerichtet, in der Hoffnung, dass der Staat dazu gebracht werden könnte, sie als eines der Seminare zu übernehmen. Im Jahr 1856 bot der Bürgermeister von Tallahassee, Francis W. Eppes, das Land und das Gebäude des Instituts erneut der Legislative an. Die Gesetzesvorlage zum Auffinden des Seminars in Tallahassee passierte beide Häuser und wurde am 1. Januar 1857 vom Gouverneur unterzeichnet. Am 7. Februar 1857 fand die erste Sitzung des Board of Education des Staatlichen Seminars westlich des Suwannee River statt Die Einrichtung bot männlichen Studenten Nachschulunterricht an. Francis Eppes war acht Jahre lang Präsident des Board of Education des Priesterseminars. [21] 1858 übernahm das Seminar die Tallahassee Female Academy, die 1843 gegründet wurde, und wurde koedukativ. [22]
Das West Florida Seminary befand sich auf dem ehemaligen Grundstück des Florida Institute, einem Hügel, auf dem sich das historische Westcott Building befindet. Der Standort ist der älteste kontinuierlich genutzte Ort in Florida. Das Gebiet, etwas westlich des Kapitols, war früher und ominös als Gallows Hill bekannt, ein Ort für öffentliche Hinrichtungen im frühen Tallahassee. [23]
Bürgerkrieg und Wiederaufbau
In der Legislaturperiode von 1860 bis 1861 begann eine formelle militärische Ausbildung an der Schule mit einem Gesetz zur Änderung der ursprünglichen Satzung von 1851. [24] Während des Bürgerkriegs wurde das Seminar zum Florida Military and Collegiate Institute. Die Zahl der Schüler an der Schule erhöhte sich auf rund 250 Schüler, wobei sich die Schule als vielleicht größte und angesehenste Bildungseinrichtung des Staates etablierte. [24] Kadetten der Schule besiegten die Streitkräfte der Union bei der Schlacht um die Naturbrücke im Jahr 1865 und ließen Tallahassee als einzige Hauptstadt der Konföderation östlich des Mississippi-Flusses nicht in Unionsmacht fallen. [25] [26] Die Studenten wurden von Valentine Mason Johnson, einem Absolvent des Virginia Military Institute, ausgebildet, der ein Professor für Mathematik und Chefadministrator der Hochschule war. [27] Nach dem Fall der Konföderation wurden die Campusgebäude der Union ungefähr vier Monate lang von den Streitkräften der Union besetzt, und das West Florida Seminary wurde wieder zu seinem früheren akademischen Zweck. [28]
In Anerkennung der Kadetten und ihrer entscheidenden Rolle in der Schlacht zeigt das ROTC-Kadettenkorps der Florida State University Army einen Kampf-Streamer mit der Aufschrift "NATURAL BRIDGE 1865" mit der Flagge. Die FSU Army ROTC ist eine von nur vier militärischen Einheiten der Colleges in den Vereinigten Staaten mit der Erlaubnis, einen solchen Wimpel auszustellen. [29]
Erste staatliche Universität
Im Jahr 1883 wurde die Institution, die seit langem offiziell als West Florida Seminary bekannt ist, vom Board of Education als The Literary College der University of Florida organisiert. Der Gesetzentwurf von 1885, der der Institution den Titel der University of Florida verlieh, wurde nie aufgehoben. [21] Im Rahmen der neuen Hochschulcharta wurde das Seminar zur Literarischen Hochschule der Institution und sollte mehrere "Schulen" oder Abteilungen in verschiedenen Disziplinen enthalten. [30] Im neuen Universitätsverband wurde jedoch die "separate Charta und Sonderorganisation" des Seminars beibehalten. [31] An der Florida University wurde auch das Tallahassee College of Medicine and Surgery gegründet, und drei weitere Colleges wurden zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt gegründet. [30] Die Gesetzgebung von Florida anerkannte die Universität unter dem Titel " University of Florida " im Frühjahr 1885, verpflichtete jedoch keine zusätzliche Finanzierung oder Unterstützung. [21] [32] Ohne gesetzliche Unterstützung kämpfte das Universitätsprojekt. Die Institution nahm nie den Titel "Universität" an, [32] und der Verein wurde aufgelöst, als die medizinische Hochschule später in diesem Jahr nach Jacksonville zog. [30]
wie es noch allgemein genannt wurde, expandierte und gedieh weiter. Es verlagerte seinen Fokus in Richtung postsekundärer Bildung im modernen Stil und verlieh 1884 [21] seine ersten Diplome, seine ersten Diplome, und wurde 1897 Floridas erste Kunstgewerbeschule. [21] und 1891 hatte das Institut begonnen, sich auf die moderne postsekundäre Bildung zu konzentrieren; In diesem Jahr wurden sieben Bachelor of Arts-Abschlüsse verliehen. [21]
Im Jahr 1901 wurde es Florida State College, eine vierjährige Einrichtung, die in vier Abteilungen organisiert ist: das College, die School of Teachers, die School of Music, und der College Academy. Das Florida State College wurde ermächtigt, den Master of Arts zu vergeben, und der erste Master-Abschluss wurde 1902 angeboten. In diesem Jahr zählte die Studentenschaft 252 Männer und Frauen, und es standen Abschlüsse für klassische, literarische und wissenschaftliche Studien zur Verfügung. 1903 wurde die erste Universitätsbibliothek gegründet. [21]
Buckman Act
Die Gesetzgebung von Florida im Jahr 1905 verabschiedete den Buckman Act, der das Florida College-System in eine Schule für weiße Männer (Universität des Staates Florida) umstrukturierte, eine Schule für weiße Frauen (19459050), Florida Female College später geändert in Florida State College für Frauen ) und eine Schule für Afroamerikaner (State Normal and Industrial College für farbige Studenten). [33] Das Buckman Act war umstritten, da es den Charakter einer historischen koedukativen staatlichen Schule in eine Frauenschule verwandelte. James Westcott III (1839–1887), ein früher und bedeutender Wohltäter der Schule, hat der Schule beträchtliche Gelder zur Verfügung gestellt, um den weiteren Betrieb zu unterstützen. Im Jahr 1911 verklagte sein Nachlass die staatliche Bildungsbehörde, mit der Behauptung, dass der Nachlass keine gleichgeschlechtliche Schule unterstützen sollte. Der Oberste Gerichtshof von Florida entschied, dass die Frage zugunsten des Staates Florida lautete, dass der Charakterwechsel (von 1905 bis 1947 existierend) in den Willen des Westcott fiel. [34] Bis 1933 war das Florida State College für Frauen das drittgrößte Frauenhochschule in den Vereinigten Staaten geworden und war die erste staatliche Frauenhochschule im Süden, die ein Kapitel von Phi Beta Kappa erhielt, sowie die erste Universität in Florida geehrt. [35] [36] Florida State war bis 1919 die größte der beiden ursprünglichen Universitäten in Florida. 19459111 [37]
"Florida State University"
Rückführung von Soldaten mit dem G.I. Bill nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg betonte das staatliche Universitätssystem bis zu dem Punkt, dass auf dem Campus des Florida State College für Frauen eine Niederlassung in Tallahassee der University of Florida (TBUF) eröffnet wurde. Die Männer waren in einer Baracke im nahe gelegenen Dale Mabry Field untergebracht. [21] 1947 kehrte der Gesetzgeber von Florida den FSCW in den Koedukationsstatus zurück und bezeichnete ihn als Florida State University . [38] Das Gelände und die Kasernen der FSU West Campus sowie andere Bereiche, die kontinuierlich als Flughafen genutzt wurden, wurden später zum Sitz des Tallahassee Community College. Die Nachkriegsjahre brachten der Universität beträchtliches Wachstum und Entwicklung, da viele Abteilungen und Hochschulen hinzugefügt wurden, darunter Wirtschaft, Journalismus (1959 eingestellt), Bibliothekswissenschaft, Krankenpflege und soziale Wohlfahrt. [39] Zu dieser Zeit wurden auch die Strozier Library, das Tully Gymnasium und die ursprünglichen Teile des Business-Gebäudes errichtet.
Studentenaktivismus und rassische Integration
In den 1960er und 1970er Jahren wurde die Florida State University zu einem Zentrum für studentischen Aktivismus, insbesondere in den Bereichen Rassenintegration, Frauenrechte und Widerstand gegen den Vietnamkrieg . In dieser Zeit erhielt die Schule den Spitznamen "Berkeley of the South" [40] was auf ähnliche studentische Aktivitäten an der University of California in Berkeley hinweist. Es wird behauptet, dass die Schule auch in den 70er Jahren des "Streifens" entstanden ist, das erstmals bei Landis Green beobachtet wurde. [41] [42]
Nach vielen Jahren als getrennte Universität in 1962 wurde Maxwell Courtney der erste afroamerikanische Student, der in den Staat Florida aufgenommen wurde. [43] 1968 wurde Calvin Patterson der erste afroamerikanische Spieler für die Fußballmannschaft der Florida State University. [44] Der Staat Florida hat heute die höchste Abschlussquote für afroamerikanische Studenten aller Universitäten in Florida. [45]
Am 4. März 1969 suchte das FSU-Kapitel der Students for a Democratic Society, einer nicht registrierten Studentenorganisation, eine Registrierung Nutzen Sie die Universitätseinrichtungen für Meetings. Die Regierung der FSU beschloss daraufhin unter Präsident Stanley Marshall, dem SDS die Verwendung von Universitätsbesitz zu untersagen, und erließ eine gerichtliche Verfügung, um die Gruppe zu sperren. Das Ergebnis war ein Protest und eine Massenverhaftung von rund 58 Studenten am Bajonettpunkt in einem Vorfall, der später als die Nacht der Bajonette bezeichnet wurde. [46] Der Senat der Fakultät der Universität kritisierte später die Reaktion der Regierung als provozierende Art einer künstlichen Krise. [47] Ein anderes bemerkenswertes Ereignis ereignete sich, als Studenten der FSU aus Protest gegen Studentensterben an der Kent State University protestierten, was dazu führte, dass der Unterricht abgesagt wurde. [48] Etwa 1000 Studenten marschierten in das ROTC-Gebäude, wo sie von mit Schrotflinten und Karabiner bewaffneten Polizisten konfrontiert wurden. Gouverneur Claude Kirk trat der Nachtwache bei und erschien unerwartet mit einem Korbsessel. Er verbrachte Stunden mit wenig Begleitung oder Fanfare, um Landis Green zu diskutieren, in dem er mit protestierenden Studenten die Politik diskutierte. [48]
Der LGBTQ-Aktivismus an der FSU ist insofern ungewöhnlich, als es tatsächlich ein Kampf gegen die Schule selbst war. Die Pride Student Union (PSU), ursprünglich LGBSU, wurde 1969 gegründet, um LGBTQ-Studenten zu vertreten. [49] [50] 1980 gewann ein schwuler Mann namens William Wade den Titel "Homecoming Princess" unter dem Pseudonym "Billy Dahling" und sorgte für Kontroversen. [51] [52] [53] Im Jahr 2006 fügte der Gewerkschaftsrat der Nichtdiskriminierungspolitik die sexuelle Ausrichtung hinzu, was dazu führte, dass mehrere Studentenorganisationen wegen Nichteinhaltung null finanziert wurden. Die Christian Legal Society ließ den Studentensenat das Einfrieren rückgängig machen, nachdem er eine Klage [54] [55] angedroht hatte, was zur Gründung der Koalition für eine gerechte Gemeinschaft (CFEC) führte, die sich für eine inklusive Nichtdiskriminierung einsetzte Politik. [56] [57] Im Jahr 2008 erhob die CFEC Klage beim FSU Student Supreme Court gegen den Union Board, weil er die Politik nicht eingehalten hatte, obwohl sie entschied, dass sie nach Anhörung der Rechtsprechung nicht zuständig sei. [58] Im November 2009 hat das CFEC ein Editorial in das FSView aufgenommen, um einen Ausblick auf das Thema zu geben. [59] Im Juni 2010 verabschiedete das Kuratorium der Universität eine Resolution zum Schutz der Studierenden auf der Grundlage der sexuellen Orientierung, der Geschlechtsidentität und des Geschlechtsausdrucks. [60]
Im März 2002 stellten FSU-Studenten 114 Tage lang "Tent City" auf Landis Green die Universität zu zwingen, dem jungen Worker Rights Consortium (WRC) beizutreten. [61] Das Worker Rights Consortium (WRC) ist eine unabhängige Überwachungsgruppe, die die Arbeitsrechte weltweit überwacht. Zu dieser Zeit verdiente die FSU mit Merchandising-Rechten jährlich 2 Millionen Dollar. Die Regierung der FSU weigerte sich ursprünglich, sich mit der WRC zu treffen, angeblich aus Angst, ihre Beziehung zu Nike zu beschädigen. [61] Zu Beginn des Protestes wurden 12 AktivistInnen festgenommen, weil sie ihre Zelte außerhalb der "freien Sprechzone" aufgestellt hatten. Die Protestkundgebung endete im Juli, als die Regierung den Forderungen der Studenten entsprach und mit der WRC zusammentraf. [61]
21. Jahrhundert
Die Florida State University College of Medicine wurde in gegründet Juni 2000. [62] Es wurde am 17. Oktober 2002 vom Verbindungsausschuss für medizinische Ausbildung vorläufig akkreditiert und am 3. Februar 2005 vollständig akkreditiert. Das King Life Sciences Building, das sich neben dem College of Medicine befindet, wurde im Juni 2008 fertiggestellt biowissenschaftliche Abteilungen unter einem Dach.
Nach der Schaffung von Leistungsstandards durch die Gesetzgebung von Florida im Jahr 2013 haben der Gouverneur von Florida, Rick Scott, und das Florida Board of Governors die Florida State University und die University of Florida zu den beiden "herausragenden Universitäten" unter den zwölf Universitäten der State University ernannt System of Florida. [63] [64] Der neue herausragende Status des US-Bundesstaates Florida verlangt von 2013–2018 eine Erhöhung der staatlichen Zusagen in Höhe von 75 Millionen US-Dollar, aufgeteilt in 15 Millionen US-Dollar. [65]
Campus
Tallahassee
Der Hauptcampus umfasst 489 Morgen (2,0 km 2 ) Land einschließlich Heritage Grove und umfasst über 14.800.000 Quadratfuß (1.375.000 m 2 ) Gebäude. Die Florida State University besitzt mehr als 6 km². Der Campus grenzt an den Stadium Drive im Westen, die Tennessee Street (US Route 90) im Norden, die Macomb Street im Osten und die Gaines Street im Süden. Das Westcott-Gebäude liegt an der Kreuzung der College Avenue und der S. Copeland Street und ist vielleicht das bekannteste Gebäude der Schule. Der Westcott-Standort ist der älteste Hochschulort in Florida [66] und ist die Heimat des Ruby Diamond Auditorium, das als Veranstaltungsort der Universität dient. [67] [194560101] Dodd Hall, die ursprüngliche Bibliothek des Campus, wurde auf der AIA-Florida-Kapitelliste von Florida Architecture: 10. als 100. Platz eingestuft. 100 Places [68]
Zu den historischen Wohnheimen für Studentenwohnheime gehören Broward, Bryan, Cawthon, Gilchrist, Jennie Murphree, Landis und Reynolds. Sie befinden sich in der östlichen Hälfte des Campus. Es gibt drei neue Wohnheimkomplexe, Ragans und Wildwood, die sich in der Nähe des sportlichen Quadranten befinden. und DeGraff Hall in der Tennessee Street.

Auf und um den Campus der Florida State University befinden sich sieben Bibliotheken; Dirac-Wissenschaftsbibliothek, benannt nach dem Nobelpreisträger und Paul Dirac, Professor an der Florida State University, Strozier-Bibliothek, Maguire-Bibliothek, Rechtsbibliothek, Bibliothek für Ingenieurwissenschaften, Allen Music Library und der Goldstein-Informationsbibliothek. Strozier Library ist die Hauptbibliothek des Campus und die einzige Bibliothek in Florida, die im Herbst- und Frühlingsemester von Sonntag bis Donnerstag 24 Stunden geöffnet ist. [69]
gepflanzt. Direkt neben dem Donald L. Tucker Center befindet sich das College of Law zwischen Jefferson Street und Pensacola Street. Das College of Business befindet sich im Herzen des Campus in der Nähe der Oglesby Student Union und gegenüber dem neuen Huge Classroom Building (HCB). Das Wissenschafts- und Forschungsvier befindet sich im nordwestlichen Quadranten des Campus. Das College of Medicine, die King Life Science-Gebäude (Biologie) sowie die Abteilung für Psychologie befinden sich am westlichen Ende des Campus auf der Call Street und dem Stadium Drive.
Am Stadium Drive im Südwesten liegt das Doak Campbell Stadium, das das Bobby Bowden Field umschließt. Die Arena bietet Platz für rund 84.000 Zuschauer, die University Center Buildings, das Dick Howser Stadium und andere sportliche Gebäude. Das Doak Campbell Stadium, die University Center Buildings, das Dick Howser Stadium sowie andere athletische Gebäude und Felder befinden sich am Stadium Drive im Südwesten des Quadranten. Das Doak Campbell Stadium ist ein einzigartiger Austragungsort in der Leichtathletik. Es befindet sich in den Ziegelfassadenwänden des University Centers, der größten durchgehenden Ziegelkonstruktion der Welt. Der weitläufige Komplex beherbergt die Büros der Universität, den Standesbeamten, die Dedman School of Hospitality und andere Büros und Klassenzimmer.
Neben dem Hauptcampus umfasst der FSU Southwest Campus weitere 850 Hektar Land (3,4 km 2 ) Land vor dem Orange Drive. Der Campus im Südwesten beherbergt derzeit das Florida State University College of Engineering, das in einer gemeinsamen Anlage mit der Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University untergebracht ist. Neben dem College of Engineering befinden sich hier der Don Veller Seminole Golfplatz und Club sowie das Morcorm Aquatics Center. Die Gebäude der FSU Research Foundation sowie das National High Magnetic Field Laboratory befinden sich im Innovation Park und das Alumni Village. Studentenwohnheime für Familien befinden sich in der Nähe von Levy. Die Flastacowo Road führt zum Florida State University Reservation, einem Studentenresidenz am Lake Bradford.
Im August wurde ein neuer RecSports Plex mit einer Fläche von 104 Hektar (0,4 km 2 ) an der Tyson Road eröffnet. Dieser intramurale Sportkomplex wird mit zwölf Fußballfeldern, fünf Softballfeldern, vier Fußballfeldern sowie Basketball- und Volleyballfeldern der größte in der College-Welt. Durch die Hinzufügung des südwestlichen Tallahassee-Campus in den letzten Jahren wurde der Campus auf über 1.100 Hektar (4 km 2 ) erweitert.
Die Florida State University hat seit dem Amtsantritt von T. K. Wetherell im Jahr 2003 beträchtliche Erweiterungen und Bauarbeiten erlebt. Zahlreiche Renovierungsarbeiten sowie Neubauten wurden abgeschlossen oder befinden sich derzeit in der Fertigstellung. Zu diesen Projekten gehören sportliche Schülerplätze, Studentenwohnheime, neue Klassenräume sowie Forschungsräume. Gegenwärtig erlebt der Campus eine Wiederbelebung und Verschönerung der wichtigsten Räume des Campus.
Panama City
Die Florida State University in Panama City liegt 160 km vom Hauptcampus entfernt. Ab Anfang der 1980er Jahre. Seitdem ist der Campus auf fast 1.500 Studenten angewachsen, die von 15 Bachelor- und 19 Graduiertenprogrammen unterstützt werden.
FSU Panama City bietet seit Herbst 2000 ganztägige Tagesprogramme an. Diese Planung, gekoppelt mit abends angebotenen Programmen, dient dazu, den Bedürfnissen der vielfältigen Studentenschaft gerecht zu werden. Über 30 Resident Dozenten wurden eingestellt, um die Programme zu unterstützen. Der Campus der Florida State University in Panama City liegt inmitten von Eichen an den Gewässern der North Bay und nur drei Meilen vom Golf von Mexiko entfernt. Hier finden Sie Kurse für Studenten der Oberklasse sowie einige Graduierten- und Fachstudiengänge.
Seit der Eröffnung im Jahr 1982 haben über 4.000 Studenten an der FSU Panama City ihr Studium mit einem Abschluss von der Grundschulbildung bis zum Ingenieurswesen abgeschlossen. Alle Kurse werden von Fakultätsmitgliedern des Campus der FSU unterrichtet. Die Satelliteninstitution hat derzeit ein Verhältnis von 25 Studenten zu jedem Fakultätsmitglied. [70]
Organisation und Verwaltung
Als Teil des State University Systems von Florida fällt die Florida State University in den Zuständigkeitsbereich der Verwaltungsrat von Florida. Ein 13-köpfiges Kuratorium verfügt jedoch über "die Befugnis, die Florida State University zu regeln und festzulegen, soweit dies erforderlich ist, um eine ordnungsgemäße Verwaltung und Verbesserung der Universität gemäß den Gesetzen und Regeln des Florida Board of Governors zu gewährleisten". [71]
Sally McRorie wurde im November 2015 zum Vorsteher der FSU ernannt und ist für den laufenden Betrieb und die Verwaltung der Universität verantwortlich. [72]
Die Florida State University ist unterteilt in 16 Colleges und mehr als 110 Zentren, Einrichtungen, Labore und Institute mit mehr als 300 Studiengängen. [73] Die Florida State University bietet Associate-, Bachelor-, Master-, Specialist-, Doktoranden- und Professional-Studiengänge an. Die populärsten Colleges nach Einschreibung sind Kunst und Wissenschaften, Wirtschaft, Sozialwissenschaften, Bildung und Humanwissenschaften. [74]
Das Florida State University College of Medicine betreibt eine diversifizierte klinische Ausbildung in Krankenhäusern und auf kommunaler Ebene für Medizinstudenten. Das Florida State University College of Medicine wurde im Rahmen der Mission gegründet, um medizinisch unterversorgten Bevölkerungsgruppen medizinische Versorgung zu bieten. Die ersten zwei Jahre absolvierten die Schüler auf dem Campus der FSU in Tallahassee. Anschließend wurden sie für eine klinische Ausbildung im dritten und vierten Jahr an einem der regionalen medizinischen Schulgelände eingesetzt. Drehungen können an einem der sechs regionalen Standorte in Daytona Beach, Fort Pierce, Orlando, Pensacola, Sarasota durchgeführt werden oder in Tallahassee bleiben, wenn sie dies wünschen. [75]
Stiftung
Stand: 2018 [update] die finanzielle Ausstattung der FSU (der "University Endowment Fund") wurde auf 742 Millionen US-Dollar geschätzt. [76] Das Stiftungsvermögen wird in erster Linie nach den Wünschen der Spender verwendet, zu denen auch die Unterstützung von Lehre und Forschung gehört.
Florida State University Foundation
Die Florida State University erhält neben staatlichen Mitteln auch finanzielle Unterstützung von der Florida State University Foundation, einer Organisation, die ausschließlich zur Verwaltung von Spenden und Spenden an die Universität besteht. [77] Die Stiftung verwaltet das Stiftungsvermögen der Universität in Höhe von derzeit gut einer halben Milliarde Dollar. [78] Die Stiftung unterstützt Studenten dabei, Stipendien [79] zu gewähren, langfristige Universitätsziele und andere spezifische Zwecke zu unterstützen, die von den verschiedenen Gebern festgelegt werden. [77]
Seminole Boosters
Seminole Boosters, Inc. wird als direkte Unterstützungsorganisation für die Leichtathletik der Florida State University bezeichnet. [80] Heute ist Seminole Boosters, Inc. eine der führenden Spendenorganisationen für Hochschulsportler in Amerika. Auf beitragende Beiträge entfallen mehr als 14 Millionen US-Dollar pro Jahr und mindestens 15 Millionen US-Dollar pro Jahr für Kapitalgeschenke. Das Seminole Boosters Scholarship Endowment verwaltet fast 66 Millionen US-Dollar. Die Booster sind in eine Vielzahl von Unternehmen involviert, darunter Affinitätsprogramme, Logos und Lizenzen, Spieltagsparken, Konzessionen, der University Center Club, Skybox-Management und der Bau von Sportanlagen [81]
Studentenregierung
Die Student Government Association der Florida State University ist das Leitungsgremium von Studenten, die die Florida State University besuchen, und vertritt die fast 43.000 Studenten, Absolventen und Professoren der Universität. Die Studentenregierung der Universität arbeitet derzeit mit einem jährlichen Budget von 12,86 Millionen US-Dollar, einem der größten staatlichen Regierungsbudgets der Vereinigten Staaten, und das Geld wird vom Finanzausschuss der Legislativabteilung zugeteilt. [82]
Der Student Die Regierung wurde 1935 gegründet und besteht aus Exekutiv-, Justiz- und Legislative. [83] Die Exekutive der Studentenregierung wird vom Präsidenten der Studentenschaft geleitet und umfasst den Vizepräsidenten der Studentenschaft, den Schatzmeister der Studentenschaft, sechs Agenturen, sieben Büros und Exekutivsekretäre im Exekutivbüro des Präsidenten.
Der Studentensenat ist der gesetzgebende Zweig und besteht aus 80 Senatoren, die eine einjährige Amtszeit haben. Die Studentenschaft wählt die erste Hälfte während des Frühjahrssemesters und die verbleibende Hälfte während des Herbstsemesters. The senators elect a Senate President and Senate President Pro Tempore once a year, after the fall election, to lead the Student Senate.[84]
The student government judicial branch has two major components: the Supreme Court of the Student Body (headed by a Chief Justice) and all elections related officials such as the Supervisor of Elections and the Elections Commission. The Supreme Court consists of seven second or third-year students at the FSU College of Law nominated by the Student Body President and confirmed by the Student Senate.[85] Each justice serves a "life-time" term, which extends through the individual justice's graduation and insulates the court from the politics of student government. The Chief Justice may appoint a marshal and clerk. The election commission is also composed of Florida State University College of Law students and it adjudicates all student government election complaints. The commission has five members, one of whom also serves as the commission chairman.
Academics
Florida State University aspires to become a top twenty-five public research university with at least one-third of its PhD programs ranked in the top 15 nationally.[86] The university owns more than 1,600 acres (6.4 km²) and is the home of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory among other advanced research facilities. The university continues to develop in its capacity as a leader in Florida graduate research. Other milestones at the university include the first ETA10-G/8 supercomputer,[87] capable of 10.8 GFLOPS in 1989, remarkable for the time in that it exceeded the existing speed record of the Cray-2/8, located at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory by a substantial leap and the development of the anti-cancer drug Taxol.
Florida State University is divided into 16 colleges and schools including the Colleges of Applied Studies, Arts & Sciences, Business, Communication & Information, Criminology & Criminal Justice, Education, Engineering, Fine Arts, Human Sciences, Law, Medicine, Motion Picture Arts, Music, Nursing, Social Sciences & Public Policy, and Social Work, plus the Graduate School, Dedman School of Hospitality, and the Jim Moran School of Entrepreneurship. Florida State offers 104 baccalaureate degree programs, 112 master's degree programs, an advanced master’s degree program, 12 specialist degree programs, 70 doctorate degree programs, and 3 professional degree programs.[88] The most popular Colleges by enrollment are Arts and Sciences, Business, Social Sciences, Education, and Human Science.[74]
A number of undergraduate academic programs at Florida State University are termed "Limited Access Programs". Limited Access Programs are programs where student demand exceeds available resources. Admission is thus restricted and sometimes extremely competitive. Examples of limited access programs include The Florida State University Film School, the College of Communication and Information, the College of Nursing, Computer Science, most of the majors in the College of Education, several majors in the College of Visual Arts, Theatre and Dance and all majors in the College of Business.[89]

The center is supported by a research team composed of dedicated and highly skilled researchers, scientists, faculty, engineers, and students, recruited from across the globe, with strong representation from both the academic/research community and industry.[171]
In January 2015, Florida State University's Center for Advanced Power Systems has unveiled a new 24,000-volt direct current power test system, the most powerful of its kind available at a university research center throughout the world. The new test facility is the latest piece of the center's PHIL testing program. It has a 24,000-volt direct current with a capacity of 5 megawatts, making it the most powerful PHIL system of its kind at a university research center worldwide. To create the new system, the center put together four individual 6 kilovolt, 1.25 megawatt converters that can be arranged in any combination, in series or parallel connection, to form an extremely flexible test bed for medium voltage direct current (MVDC) system investigations.[172]
CAPS researchers are also collaborating with Virginia Tech on a project for the U.S. Office of Naval Research to evaluate the performance of an electrical impedance measurement unit (IMU) developed by Virginia Tech and to be shipped to CAPS for testing. The purpose of an IMU is to probe a power system for its impedance characteristics to establish criteria for stable operation of the system.
CAPS is a long-term contractor with the U.S. Navy, which is working to develop an all-electric ship. The Navy has also committed funding to study design and performance of fault current limited MVDC systems and other operational aspects of MVDC systems.
Coastal and Marine Laboratory
The FSU Coastal and Marine Laboratory is located about 45 miles (72 km) from the main campus in Tallahassee. It is on the coast of St. Teresa, Florida, between Panacea and Carrabelle, on Apalachee Bay, 8 acres (32,000 m2) of which is right on the water and the remaining 70 acres (280,000 m2) of which is directly across the road. The mission of the FSUCML is to conduct innovative, interdisciplinary research focused on the coastal and marine ecosystems of the northeastern Gulf of Mexico, with a focus on solving the ecological problems faced by the region by providing the scientific underpinnings for informed policy decisions. Research is conducted by faculty in residence and by those from the main campus, as well as by faculty, postdoctoral, graduate, and undergraduate investigators from FSU and other universities throughout the world.[173]
Florida State University established its first marine laboratory, the Oceanographic Institute, in 1949, on 25 acres (100,000 m2) on the harbor side of the peninsula that forms Alligator Harbor, which maintained a substantial research effort throughout the 1950s and 1960s. Other marine stations maintained by Florida State University until 1954 included one at Mayport, on the St. Johns River near Jacksonville, which conducted research related to the menhaden and shrimp fisheries and oceanographic problems of the Gulf Stream and the mouth of the St. John's River, and one on Mullet Key at the mouth of Tampa Bay, which studied red tide.
In the late 1960s, FSU moved the lab to its current location west of Turkey Point, on land donated by Edward Ball, the founder of the St. Joe Paper Company, and changed its name to The Edward Ball Marine Laboratory. In 2006, the lab became known as The Florida State University Coastal and Marine Laboratory (FSUCML), a name that better reflects the expanded programmatic base of its research, education, and outreach missions.[174]
Participation in the Large Hadron Collider
After decades of planning and construction the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) is a next generation detector for the new proton-proton collider (7 TeV + 7 TeV) called the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) which is now operational in the existing 17 mi (27 km) circular underground tunnel near Geneva, Switzerland at CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics. Florida State University faculty members collaborated in the design, construction and operation of the LHC, with some components assembled at Florida State and shipped to CERN for installation.[175] Florida State faculty contributed to several areas of the CMS, especially the electromagnetic calorimeter and the hadron calorimeter.[176]
MIT Contest of lab award
The National Science Foundation awarded Florida State University the right in 1990 to host the new National High Magnetic Field Laboratory rather than improve the existing Francis Bitter Magnet Laboratory controlled by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) together with a consortium of other universities.[169] The award of the laboratory was contested by MIT in an unprecedented request to the NSF for a review of the award.[177] The NSF denied the appeal, explaining that the superior enthusiasm for and commitment to the project demonstrated by Florida State led to the decision to relocate the lab.[178]
Student life
Traditions
The university's colors are garnet and gold.[179] The colors of garnet and gold represent a merging of the university's past. While the school fielded a football team as early, or earlier than 1899, in 1902, 1903 and 1905 the team won football championships wearing purple and gold uniforms.[21][181] The following year, the college student body selected crimson as the official school color. The administration in 1905 took crimson and combined it with the recognizable purple of the championship football teams to achieve the color garnet. After World War II the garnet and gold colors were first worn by a renewed football team in a 14–6 loss to Stetson University on October 18, 1947. Florida State University's marching band is the Marching Chiefs.

The original name for the retreat was Camp Flastacowo.[197]
Florida State University is one of two collegiate schools in the country to have a circus.[198]The FSU Flying High Circus is a three-ring circus that has performances during the Fall semester (for Parents' Weekend) and Spring semester (their annual homeshow). The circus, founded in 1947 by Jack Haskin, in an extracurricular activity under the Division of Student Affairs that any FSU student may join. Student performers in the circus practice daily, much like any other school sport. The performers help rig their equipment and sew their own costumes. Performances occur in April under the Big Top circus tent.[199]
Greek life
Over 6,500 students are members of either a fraternity or sorority.[200] The Office of Greek Life at Florida State University encompasses the Interfraternity Council (IFC), Panhellenic Council (NPC), Multicultural Greek Council (MGC), and the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC). The Order of Omega and Rho Lambda Honor Societies also have chapters at Florida State.
The Interfraternity Council (IFC) comprises 22 fraternities. The Panhellenic Association is made up of 17 sororities and over 4,000 women.
The Multicultural Greek Council consists of 11 cultural organizations (Latino, Asian, South Asian, etc.).[201] The National Pan-Hellenic Council comprises 8 historically black organizations.
In 2017, university president John E. Thrasher suspended activities at all of the university's 55 fraternities and sororities, days after two unrelated incidents in which a 20-year-old fraternity pledge died following a party at an off-campus house and a 20-year-old fraternity member was arrested on charges of cocaine trafficking. Thrasher said that Greek activities would be permitted to resume after the university developed new policies, saying "The message is not getting through" and calling for a major culture shift.[202][203]
Reserve Officer Training Corps
Florida State University's Reserve Officer Training Corps is the official officer training and commissioning program at Florida State University. Dating back to Civil War days, the ROTC unit at Florida State University is one of four collegiate military units with permission to display a battle streamer, in recognition of the military service of student cadets during the Battle of Natural Bridge in 1865.[206]
The Reserve Officer Training Corps offers commissions for the United States Army and the United States Air Force. The Reserve Officer Training Corps at Florida State is currently located at the Harpe-Johnson Building.[207]
The Reserve Officer Training Corps at Florida State University offers training in the military and aerospace sciences to students who desire to perform military service after they graduate. The Departments of the Army and Air Force each maintain a Reserve Officers Training Corps and each individual department (Department of Military Studies for the Army; Department of Aerospace Studies for the Air Force) has a full staff of active duty military personnel serving as instructor cadre or administrative support staff. Florida State University is also a cross-town affiliate with Florida A&M University's Navy ROTC Battalion, allowing FSU students to pursue training in the naval sciences for subsequent commissioning as officers in the Navy or Marine Corps.[208]
Campus and area transportation
The FSU campus is served by eight bus routes of the Seminole Express Bus Service. The Seminole Express Bus Service provides transportation to, around, and from campus to the surrounding Tallahassee areas for Faculty, Staff, Students and Visitors. All students, faculty and staff can also ride any StarMetro bus throughout the City of Tallahassee for free by swiping a valid FSUCard.[209] FSU also provides other campus services, including Spirit Shuttle (during football games), Nole Cab, S.A.F.E. Connection, and Night Nole nighttime service.[210]
Florida State University is also served by the Tallahassee International Airport, which is located in the Southwest portion of Tallahassee and has daily services to Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Tampa, Atlanta, Charlotte, and Dallas-Fort Worth.[211]
Student media
The campus newspaper, the FSView & Florida Flambeauis 100 years old now and publishes weekly during the summer and semiweekly on Mondays and Thursdays during the school year following the academic calendar. After changing hands three times in 13 years, the FSView was sold to the Tallahassee Democrat in late July 2006, making it part of the Gannett chain.[212] This exchange was allowed because the FSView had been for a long time a for-profit business that was not legally associated with Florida State University. Since most collegiate newspapers are supported by their colleges, this was also among the first times that a major corporation had acquired a college newspaper.
FSU operates two television stations, WFSU and WFSG,[213] and three radio stations, WFSU-FM, WFSQ-FM and WFSW-FM.[214]
FSU operates a fourth radio station, WVFS (V89, "The Voice", or "The Voice of Florida State"), as an on-campus instructional radio station staffed by student and community volunteers.[215] WVFS broadcasts primarily independent music as an alternative to regular radio.
The English Department publishes a literary journal, The Southeast Reviewfounded in 1979 as Sundog.[216]
Athletics
The school's athletic teams are called the Seminoles, derived from the Seminole people. The name was chosen by students in 1947 and is officially sanctioned by the Seminole Tribe of Florida;[217] the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma has taken no official position regarding the university's use of the name.[218] Florida State's athletes participate in the NCAA's Division I (Bowl Subdivision for football) and in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
For the 2017–18 school year, the Florida State Athletics Department budgeted $103.2 million for its sports teams and facilities and currently brings in over $121.3 million in revenues.[219][220] Florida State University is known for its competitive athletics in both men's and women's sports competitions. The men's program consists of baseball, basketball, cross country running, football, golf, swimming, tennis, and track & field. The women's program consists of basketball, cross country running, golf, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis, track & field, and volleyball. FSU's Intercollegiate Club sports include bowling, crew, rugby, soccer and lacrosse. Harkins Field is an artificial turf field that is home to the lacrosse team as well as serving as the practice field for the Marching Chiefs of the College of Music and the football team.
There are two major stadiums and an arena within FSU's main campus: Doak Campbell Stadium for football, Dick Howser Stadium for men's baseball, and the Donald L. Tucker Center for men's and women's basketball. The Mike Long Track is the home of the national champion men's outdoor track and field team.[221] H. Donald Loucks courts at the Speicher Tennis Center is the home of the FSU tennis team. By presidential directive the complex was named in honor of Lieutenant Commander Michael Scott Speicher, a graduate of Florida State University and the first American casualty during Operation Desert Storm.[222][223] The Seminole Soccer Complex is home to women's soccer. It normally holds a capacity of 1,600 people but has seen crowds in excess of 4,500 for certain games. The home record is 4,582 for the 2006 game versus the University of Florida.[224] The FSU women's softball team plays at the Seminole Softball Complex; the field is named for JoAnne Graf, the winningest coach in softball history.[225]
Florida State's traditional rivals in all sports include the University of Florida Gators, the University of Miami Hurricanes and the University of Virginia Cavaliers with a battle for the Jefferson–Eppes Trophy. The Jefferson–Eppes Trophy is exchanged between the University of Virginia and Florida State University after each football competition in recognition of the common roots shared by the two schools. Rivalries in some other sports also exist, including the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in baseball and the Duke University Blue Devils in basketball.
Florida State University has been penalized seven times by the NCAA for major infractions for the period 1968 through 2009.[226] These infractions range from improper recruiting of student-athletes, failure to investigate adequately to academic fraud. FSU has been penalized by the NCAA according to each violation of rules.
Seminole baseball
Seminole baseball is one of the most successful collegiate baseball programs in the United States having been to 20 College World Series', and having appeared in the national championship final on three occasions (falling to the University of Southern California Trojans in 1970, the University of Arizona Wildcats in 1986, and the University of Miami Hurricanes in 1999).[227] Under the direction of Head Coach No. 11 Mike Martin (FSU 1966), Florida State is the second-winningest program in the history of college baseball.[227] Since 1990, FSU has had more 50 win seasons, headed to more NCAA Tournaments (19 Regional Tournaments in 20 years), and finished in the top 10 more than any team in the United States.[227] Since 2000, FSU is the winningest program in college baseball with more victories and a higher winning percentage in the regular season than any other school.[227]
The Florida State Seminoles football program has played in 49 bowl games, won three consensus national championships, eighteen Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) championships, six ACC division titles, produced 218 All-Americans, 47 National Football League (NFL) first-round draft choices, and three Heisman Trophy winners. The Seminoles have achieved three undefeated seasons and finished ranked in the top five of the AP Poll for 14 straight years from 1987 through 2000. The Florida State Seminoles are one of the 120 NCAA Division I FBS collegiate football teams in America.
The Seminoles' home field is Bobby Bowden Field at Doak Campbell Stadium, which has a capacity of 79,560.[228] The stadium first opened in 1950 with a capacity of 15,000. In 2015, construction began on a project to completely renovate Doak Campbell Stadium as part of the $250 million Florida State Seminoles Champions Campaign to improve all aspects of athletics. The project added new premium outdoor seating sections, structural repairs, a repainting of the stadium, and updated sky box suites. The most recent addition of the stadium was completed in 2016 which replaced two video boards. The 9,368 square feet north video board is the largest video board in the state of Florida and the second largest in the nation. The stadium is popularly known as "Doak."
Florida State University fielded its first official varsity football team in the fall of 1902 until 1904, which were then known as "The Eleven". The team went (7–6–1) over the 1902–1904 seasons posting a record of (3–1) against their rivals from the Florida Agricultural College in Lake City. In 1904 the Florida State football team became the first ever state champions of Florida after beating both the Florida Agricultural College and Stetson University. The football team and all male students subsequently moved to the newly opened University of Florida in Gainesville in 1906 as a result of the 1905 Buckman Act. Football returned to Florida State after World War II in 1947.
Under head coach Bobby Bowden, the Seminole football team became one of the nation's most competitive college football teams.[230] The Seminoles played in five national championship games between 1993 and 2001 and won the championship in 1993 and 1999. The FSU football team was the most successful team in college football during the 1990s, boasting an 89% winning percentage.[231]Bobby Bowden would retire with the record for most all-time career wins in Division I football.[232]Jimbo Fisher succeeded Bowden as head coach in 2010. FSU football is well known for introducing talented players into the NFL.
Seminole track and field
The FSU men's Track & Field team won the Atlantic Coast Conference championship four times running, in addition to winning the NCAA National Championship three consecutive years.[221][233][234][235] In 2006 Head Coach Bob Braman and Associate Head Coach Harlis Meaders helped lead individual champions in the 200 m (Walter Dix), the triple jump (Raqeef Curry), and the shot put (Garrett Johnson). Individual runners-up were Walter Dix in the 100 m, Ricardo Chambers in the 400 m, and Tom Lancashire in the 1500 m. Others scoring points in the National Championship were Michael Ray Garvin in the 200 m (8th), Andrew Lemoncello in the 3000 m steeplechase (4th), Raqeef Curry in the long jump (6th), and Garrett Johnson in the discus (5th).[236] In 2007, FSU won its second straight men's Track & Field NCAA National Championship when Dix became the first person to hold the individual title in the 100 m, 200 m, and 400 m at the same time.[237]
Florida State has had 34 athletes compete at the Olympics in their respective events, most recently having ten athletes compete in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Those athletes included Gonzalo Barroilhet (Chile), Ricardo Chambers (Jamaica), Refeeq Curry (USA), Walter Dix (USA), Brian Dzingai (Zimbabwe), Tom Lancashire (England), Andrew Lemoncello, (England), Ngoni Makusha (Zimbabwe), Barbara Parker (England), and Dorian Scott (Jamaica).

Robert A. Holton, a professor of chemistry at Florida State, developed the first total synthesis of the anti-cancer drug paclitaxel, which had previously been obtainable only from the bark of the Pacific yew tree. Florida State University signed a deal with Bristol-Myers Squibb to license this and future patents. In 1992, Holton patented an improved process with an 80% yield.
Florida State's Department of Art includes many distinguished faculty. Mark Messersmith, Lillian Garcia-Roig, and Emeritus Professor Ray Burggraf are renowned for environmentally-focused paintings and "color constructions" that continue to inspire debate among scholars.[245][246] Together, Messersmith, Garcia-Roig, and Burggraf created an exhibition called, A Mysterious Clarity. It debuted at the 621 Gallery in 2004 (Tallahassee, Florida), and by popular demand, quickly evolved into a traveling show.[247] To date, A Mysterious Clarity has been featured in at least 9 museums and galleries including the Albany Museum of Art, the Gulf Coast Museum, and the Brevard Art Museum.

Notes
- ^ Florida State University fixes its date of establishment to 1851, the year the Florida legislature voted to establish two seminaries of learning: West Florida Seminary (which became the Florida State University) and East Florida Seminary (which became the University of Florida).[1] West Florida Seminary used this date of establishment prior to 1905, when the Buckman Act reorganized higher education in Florida and the three resulting state institutions all adopted 1905 as their founding date.[2] In 1935 the Florida Board of Control changed the founding dates of the University of Florida[3] and the Florida State College for Women (now Florida State University) to the years their predecessor Seminaries opened as state-sponsored institutions, and Florida State's founding date was changed to 1857. In 2000 the Florida State University declared 1851 to be its official founding date.[4]
