January, 2005 Issue In This Issue Battle Rages Over Proposed State Run FSU Chiropractic School New Beginnings Promises Winter Warmth Chiro-News Links NYK Upcoming Seminars and Shows Now You Know Internet Educational Services Products for your Office and Practice How to Contact NYK   Battle Rages Over Proposed State Run FSU Chiropractic School If you monitor the news as much as we at Now You Know do, you can`t help but notice the overwhelming amount of press that is being generated over the proposed Florida chiropractic school at Florida State University (FSU). There are several sides to each conflict and the pressure is mounting on all sides. On the one side there are the original backers of the school. These were politicians and chiropractors who wanted a school at FSU and pushed it through the Florida government using their influence. Then there are those in chiropractic who do not want that school because of the fear of what might happen to the focus of a chiropractic education outside chiropractic control. Then there are those who are opposed to a chiropractic school at FSU because they do not like chiropractic. No matter where you are on this issue one thing is for sure. The media is having a field day. Below are links to just some of the articles on this subject. We moved them out of the normal “Chiro-News” section this month because of the sheer volume.
