BARTOW, Florida -- "We're being singled out."

USF PolyTechnic's interim regional chancellor, David Touchton, and students are turning to the Polk County Board of Commissioners for support. Touchton says, "Recent legislation would leave us dead in the water. We would not be able to recruit faculty if we do not know if we will exist."

"If this bill is signed, it will create educational refugees displaced due to some political head butting," says Damon Dennis, 21, student body president at USF Poly.
