Florida International University

Florida International University, initialized as FIU, is a public research university based in Miami, Florida. It was established in 1965 by the Florida Legislature.
==History==
In 1943, state senator Ernest Graham presented the state legislature with the initial proposal for the establishment of a public university in Miami-Dade County. While his bill did not pass, he persisted in presenting his proposal to colleagues, advising them of the county's need for a state university. He felt the establishment of a public university was necessary to serve the city's growing population, so he continued until 1964, where Senate Bill 711 was introduced by senator Robert M. Haverfield. It instructed the state Board of Education and the Board of Regents to begin planning for the development of the state university. The bill was signed into law by then-governor W. Haydon Burns in 1965.
In 1972, over 5,600 students entered the new state university, the largest opening day enrollment at the time. 80% of the student body had just graduated from Dade County Junior College. Negotiations with the University of Miami and Dade County Junior College led FIU to open as an upper-division only school.
