USF finds gender gap in graduation By Abby Rinaldi

At USF and other universities across the nation, women are graduating at a higher rate than men. Vice Provost for Student Success Paul Dosal said he saw this problem two or three years ago and since then it has only grown. USF’s graduation rate in 2013 was 35.6 percent in four years and 63.2 percent in six years. Of this, 27.5 percent of men graduated in four years and 57.9 percent graduated in six years. Women graduated at 41.4 percent in four years and 67.1 percent in six years. In 2015, the graduation rate at USF for graduating on time was 63 percent of men and 72 percent for women. According to College Completion, F l o r i d a ’s graduation rate was 38.7 percent in four years and 64.4 percent in six years for all counted graduates in 2013. Isolated by gender, the graduation rate for men in
Florida was 30.6 percent in four years and 59.6 percent in six years, while women graduated at 45.1 percent in four years and 68.1 percent in six years. Dosal believes, along with USF’s administration, that this gap is a problem because of its effect on USF’s overall graduation rate, as well as those male students who aren’t performing at the same rates as their female peers. “It was certainly a big enough gap to be of concern to our President and our Provost, because while we have seen growth in the graduation rates of men and women, the undergraduate males have not been able to gain much ground at all,” Dosal said. “In pursuit of our strategic objectives, we want to continue to raise our graduation rate, so for the last cohort of students for which data is available — the 2009 cohort – our graduation rate hit 69 percent, roughly. So we’re thrilled about that.” There is a lot of pressure to meet these state benchmarks, Dosal said, from the state and
from within the university. The incentive is partially associated with the monetary rewards for meeting them, but also is about the university’s desire to do better. “I think we would have been doing it with or without that performance money,” Dosal said. The increase in women receiving bachelor’s degrees and graduating from college at greater rates is a national trend which has been in action for years. Women officially began to outnumber men as bachelor’s degrees recipients in 2015, according to the US Census Bureau. In the 2014-15 academic year, USF awarded 5,676 to women and 3,814 bachelor’s degrees to men. So far, for the 2015-16 academic year, women have received 1,084 bachelor’s degrees at USF, compared to 711 bachelor’s degrees for men. According to the USF, in the 2015-16 academic year, women make up 55.7 percent of the undergraduate

Property values in university area on the rise By Morgan Blauth C O R R E S P O N D E N T
Tampa has seen a boom in real estate growth in recent years, due in part to the growth of both USF and the University of Tampa (UT). Online real estate database Zillow predicts home values in Tampa will increase overall in 2016. The highest growth is in the Terrace Park neighborhood, with an estimated 6.7 percent increase. Terrace Park is located directly across Fowler Ave. and stretches down to Busch Blvd. between Bruce B. Downs Blvd. and Temple Terrace.
The neighborhood may seem like an unlikely location for increased home values, but the reasoning is. Andrew Duncan of Tampa’s Duncan Duo & Associates attributes the growth of the Terrace Park area to the increased availability of restaurants and shopping centers. “People wanted to live in areas like South Tampa because of the proximity to restaurants and businesses. Once they realized they could have the same experiences 15 minutes up I-275, they made the economic decision to move to Temple Terrace,” Duncan said. Dr. Joseph DeSalvo, an urban economics professor at USF,
offered another perspective. “Economics always falls back on supply and demand … If demand is increasing, you’d expect that rents would be going up, as well as the market v a l u e s of the housing,” DeSalvo said. Both seemed optimistic for the future of real estate in the Bay Area. “There’s a lot of positive buzz around Tampa right now,” Duncan said.

population in the USF system. Dosal thinks women outnumbering men at USF doesn’t have much of an impact on the gap. It does, however, reflect the trend in society that women are pursuing degrees more than men. “It’s such a big and complex problem that we’re still trying to figure it out, honestly,” Dosal said. “We only have some good ideas about why it’s occurring.” Preliminary analysis, he said, has shown that men are less likely than women to seek assistance, including counseling, tutoring and advising. However, programs like peer mentoring in engineering, which allows beginner students to talk to and receive help from more senior members of the engineering program, have seen results in creating a group atmosphere for students, according to Dosal. “… It’s making that kind of group study sessions and

who transferred to Florida, had emerged the season prior as one of the nation’s top post players. Instead of getting the chance to build upon a roster of young talent, Antigua was forced to poke and prod his way around the country and piece together a team. He was successful, in a sense. In fact, all six of the players who scored in USF’s loss to Temple Sunday were added after Antigua’s arrival. The problem for Antigua wasn’t necessarily finding the best players, but getting them to gel as a unit — something that Antigua is still working toward. And injuries haven’t exactly aided the team’s progression either. Following an impressive 5-1 start to his tenure in 2014, it looked as if there was no doubt Antigua was the right guy for the job, but that confidence soon

This was, in part due to injuries — most notably the loss of thensophomore forward Chris Perry (heart issue), who had begun to emerge as the Bulls’ cornerstone. This season has seen much of the same narrative. It began with sophomore guard Troy Holston Jr. tearing his ACL in June. Maryland transfer Roddy Peters followed suit with an ankle injury in mid-December, forcing freshman Jahmal McMurray to play nearly every minute. Not to mention Perry’s recent suspension. The list goes on, but the Bulls have been able to keep a handful of their games within reach, giving them a shot to win late in the game, even with a depleted roster. USF dressed just nine players against Temple and was able to steal back-to-back conference victories against Houston and Tulane last week with only six scholarship players in rotation.

It begs the question: Would it have been a different season with a full complement of players? A moot point as the tumultuous season nears its end. As for USF’s fearless leader, it’s a matter of what he can do when not pinned against the ropes. Looking past the next nine games — barring an unforeseen run in the conference tournament — USF’s roster will look to level out and stabilize. If healthy, USF will likely have Perry leading the charge — with Ruben Gurrero, Luis Santos and Tulio Da Silva, who was forced to sit out his freshman season out, supporting the front court — and a McMurray-Peters tandem that should allow Antigua to get back to his fast-paced Kentucky roots. It’s been a grim opening for Antigua’s career, but given the chance, his tenacity will shine through, leading what was once a gutted afterthought back to relevancy.

Institute for Excellence in Undergraduate Education is putting together a task force to look into the matter. The task force will collect data over the next three months which will be looked at during a retreat in April where USF will begin to develop its plan. The group will be made up of administrators, faculty and students. USF plans to begin recruitment for students into this group within the next couple of weeks. Dosal said the university hopes to have a plan in place by fall of 2016, with results hopefully following soon after. “This is not an issue that only affects men,” Dosal said. “I think (that) if the trends continue it becomes a problem for our entire society. I don’t think we can just sit back and ignore it and hope it’s (going to) get better. I believe firmly in the need to increase the number of our adults with a higher education degree or certificate … As a country I don’t think we’re ever going to get there (to the national goal) unless and until we improve the academic performance of men at the university level.”

managed to extend the lead out to 15 with 13:12 to go, but an undermanned Bulls squad continued to grind. An intentional foul by Temple and two free throws from USF senior center Jaleel Cousins with 6:19 remaining put the Bulls within eight, eventually getting the lead down to five, trailing 61-56. A long three from the top of the key from Temple senior guard Devin Coleman put the Owls back up 64-56 with 2:03 to go, which sealed the Bulls’ fate. “I’m pleased that our kids are fighting, I’m pleased that they’re continuing to work,” Antigua said. “I’m pleased because I know that there is more, and I see the vision of our guys continuing to improve.” One of the Bulls showing signs of improvement is freshman guard Jamaal McMurray, who continues to be a steady contributor in what has been a static season for the Bulls.

College movies you can relate to
By Elana Goodwin U L O O P
Before you ever set foot on a college campus, you probably had some idea of what to expect thanks to the many college movies out there. Of course, I’m sure there were many differences between the college experience you saw in films versus reality, but some flicks actually do a pretty good job of portraying college life. And so, here are five classic college movies to compare your experience to. “Pitch Perfect” This musical comedy follows Barden University freshman Beca Mitchell, who joins The Barden Bellas, an allfemale a cappella group on campus. She soon finds herself immersed in the competitive world of college a cappella and needs to work together with her fellow a ca-sisters to beat their rival all-male group, The Treblemakers. If you’re in college, you know collegiate a cappella is a real thing and people take it seriously. But even if you’re not musically minded, college is a time to find and make connections with people who have similar interests to you via clubs, classes and other activities. Those connections can last a lifetime. The a ca-awesome movie features Anna Kendrick, Skylar Astin, Brittany Snow, Anna Camp and Rebel Wilson and will have you singing long after the last credits have rolled. “Good Will Hunting” Written by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, this 1997 classic went on to win two Oscars. The story follows MIT janitor Will Hunting who happens to be extraordinarily gifted at
mathematics but needs help from a psychologist to unlock his potential. After going to college, you realize how realistic parts of this movie are — take, for instance, how smart Will is. He was mostly self-educated, and that’s something you’ll learn in college: knowledge can come from anywhere, and learning doesn’t always happen in a classroom. The film stars Matt Damon, Robin Williams and Ben Affleck. “The Social Network” This biographical drama won three Oscars and follows real-life Harvard student Mark Zuckerberg as he creates the social networking site that would become Facebook. He is later sued by two brothers and fellow Harvard students who claim he stole their idea, as well as a co-founder he forced out of the business venture. The film is immersive in Harvard culture and provides viewers with the story behind Facebook. Also, since Zuckerberg was a college student when he started programming the site, the movie makes it onto this list of college movies to see. Of course, while you may not go on to create a multibillion dollar business, college is a great place to take initiative and make connections, like Zuckerberg did. The film stars Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield and Justin Timberlake.
This great college movie will have you wanting to join the masses at this fictional university, and even though the idea’s a bit far-fetched, the movie has some realistic components and lessons you can learn from. The comedy stars Justin Long, Jonah Hill and Blake Lively. “Legally Blonde” This well-known Golden Globe-nominated romantic comedy is a quintessential college movie. After Elle Woods is dumped by her boyfriend, she decides to follow him to law school to get him back. Woods gets into Harvard and sets out to recapture her beau, along the way realizing she’s got a true passion for the law and won’t let anyone stand in her way. College is a time to be selfish — to study when and what you want, to focus on yourself, to uncover where your true passion lies; don’t let members of the opposite sex distract you from reaching your full potential and excelling, as Woods learns. The movie stars Reese Witherspoon, Luke Wilson and Selma Blair. So with winter settling in and the weather getting cold, consider watching one of these five college flicks — you may find they’re more relatable and realistic than you’d think.
“Accepted” When slacker high school senior Bartleby Gaines doesn’t get into any of the colleges he applied to, he creates his own university: the South Harmon Institute of Technology. Gaines actually creates a physical school with his friends on a rundown property close to where they live and unknowingly start an educational revolution. SPECIAL TO THE ORACLE

In Tampa, Uber continues to face issues with its drivers, despite a temporary truce in the last few weeks. The local drivers have made their feelings towards the company quite clear over the last few months, with multiple protests and a lawsuit. Uber is one of the fastest growing industries in the country and has become a staple in the college community. Offering a $22 discount for first time riders, as well as regularly affordable rates makes it the perfect method of travel for most students. However, the company has had its fair share of trouble over the last year. Between competing with the taxi industry and driver protests, Uber has constantly been in the spotlight. Security has recently been a major issue with the company. Last week, one driver had her social security number accidently shared by the company to other drivers. Uber officially apologized and is in touch with the employee in question to make sure her personal information wasn’t compromised. In 2015, over 50,000 drivers had their personal information leaked to a public website. In October, an update to the driver app leaked the license and social security number of more
than 600 drivers. The multiple lapses in security put many drivers on edge and began building a feeling of unease amongst Uber employees. Then, last month, Uber announced it would be cutting its already extremely low rates in 80 cities. Rates in some Florida cities went from $0.95 a mile to $0.65 a mile, a 32 percent price cut. The lower fares mean the drivers will be making less per trip. However, Uber is confident the low rates will attract more customers thus balancing, and perhaps even increasing, the drivers’ overall salary. But the drivers weren’t buying it. After the rate cut announcement, many drivers began protesting and seeking jobs elsewhere. According to bloomberg.com, Seth Miller, an Uber driver in Florida said the rate decreases would cause him to drive more often for Uber’s competitor, Lyft. However, Uber has offered an hourly wage to guarantee drivers a set amount of money per hour for many of the cities with lowered rates. There are specifications each driver must fit to qualify for this wage, but Uber hopes it will stabilize committed drivers while the rate changes take effect. Students will benefit from the lower prices as long as the drivers continue to work for the company. Low rates make travelling the city a breeze for college students living off Ramen noodles and Kraft macaroni and cheese. But
what do the lower rates actually mean for the business? Four drivers in Florida filed a federal lawsuit against the company, claiming by classifying drivers as independent contractors instead of employees, they were violating state and federal labor laws. Drivers in California and Oregon, as well as the city of Orlando, have also sued the company on similar charges. Many attendees at Gasparilla on Saturday noticed a decrease in available Uber drivers in the area when they attempted to get to and from the event. While some employees still worked through the hectic day, many chose to forgo their services and remain at home. They warned users the protest of the event would lead to an influx of prices and recommended they plan another way of travelling downtown. Drivers are fed up with the company and, unfortunately, are beginning to seek employment elsewhere. Though the low prices were ideal for students, the lack of drivers makes the experience stressful for all. If one does continue to use Uber, be sure to tip the driver well. While riders are saving a bundle by using their service, they’re barely scraping by. Breanne Williams is a junior majoring in mass communications.

Following the Lions’ 7-9 season, Johnson reportedly Johnson made that decision known to head coach Jim Caldwell. Johnson is the Lions’ all-time leader in receptions (731) and receiving yards (11,619) and holds the record for receiving yards in a single season with 1,964 in 2012.

The underlying truth USF coach Orlando Antigua not a cause for concern after two discouraging seasons.
W
ith USF men’s basketball’s 70-63 loss to Temple on Sunday, the season continues to slip away, with the sweet relief of the offseason just around the corner. It has been a draining season to forget for the team and what’s left of the truly loyal fanbase that still make their way to the Sun Dome in hopes of a different outcome – usually to no avail. While the blame primarily goes on a direct line to the coach, in this Jacob Hoag case, a wealth of facC O M M E N T A R Y tors out of USF coach Orlando Antigua’s control have sent his head coaching debut down a rough road. Orlando Antigua shoulders most of the program’s shortcomings — a tall task even for a man standing 6-foot-7 — but the origin of the downward turn stretches past the 43-year-old, first-time head coach. Nevertheless, the rumblings have begun and his seat is warming. But, if athletic director Mark Harlan has taken anything away from this past year, it’s that sometimes it pays to wait. Just ask USF football coach Willie Taggart. Antigua is far removed from his glory days sitting alongside one of college hoops’ finest in Kentucky coach John Calipari.
During his tenure as a Kentucky assistant, Antigua helped coach the wildcats to a 15337 record. In that five-year span, Kentucky reached 20 wins each season, appeared in the Final Four three times and the national championship twice, winning in 2012. Antigua’s production has slipped quite a bit since leaving the college basketball promise land to take the job at USF. In his first 55 games as a head coach, he has a .341 winning percentage (14 games) — 21 percent in the AAC. Should you blame the coach for a team having single-digit wins? Absolutely, but first look what he inherited. Following the firing of former coach Stan Heath in March of 2014, six players left USF in the rearview mirror in search of a fresh start.

Temple ends USF’s brief win streak
By Chuck Muller C O R R E S P O N D E N T
In a season riddled with injuries and suspensions, it would be easy to point to those as excuses for the Bulls disappointing 5-18 record this season. USF fell to Temple 70-63 on Sunday afternoon in the Sun Dome, dropping its conference record to 2-8. “We just have to keep working and know the results will hap-
pen,” USF coach Orlando Antigua remarked after his Bulls dropped their 11th game at home this season. The Bulls dug themselves an early hole to start the game, as the Owls (12-8, 6-3) hit two threepointers to open the scoring for Temple. With the Owls controlling most of the play in the first half, the Bulls were able to claim only a brief lead from a senior guard Nehemias Morillo three-pointer with under
six minutes before halftime. The Bulls’ 21-20 lead was shortlived, however, as an over-zealous USF defense continued to foul Temple senior guard Quenton DeCosey from beyond the arc. “The emphasis was that (DeCosey) likes to pump-fake a lot, don’t jump,” frustrated senior forward Angel Nunez said after the game. “(The coaches) gave us the scouting report on him and told us what to do, we just didn’t go out there and execute.”
DeCosey, who played every minute for the Owls, had 30 points on the afternoon, which is the most any player has scored on the Bulls in a single game this season. Coming out of the half leading by only four, the Owls began a 10-4 run. Temple managed to extend the lead to 15 with 13:12 to go, but an undermanned Bulls squad continued to grind.
