IMO. This is PR stunt, It's standard OP in Florida to threaten to close stuff due to budget constraints. I can't remember a single case where they actually did even if they did not get the budget increese/tax hike that they said they needed.

I'm not sure if you are referring to the state budget or university budget here, but the university closed the nuclear engineering department a year or two ago due to budget reasons, the remnants of that program are in Materials Science now.
