We have decided together not to go that way, not to compete against each other because it divides the institutions and it divides the community.

There was good discussion and different points of view, but in the end everyone decided that this was the best way to go forward.

This does have serious implications for not only the business world but for marriage and family. Are all these educated women going to allow themselves to fall in love with men who haven't achieved as much?

When my husband became a professor at USF in 1966 I remember the campus in Tampa was literally a wasteland. When I go to that campus now and look at what's happening, I can't believe it.

There had to be something else happening that would explain this discrepancy. Rather than trying to compete, I decided join up.

Do not compete with anyone except yourself
