[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]COVID is superseding everything else. The school is fine financially, stop with the dooming.[/quote]

The school still has a large amount of debt from the earlier building projects. Bryan has discussed this. They were trying to pay down that debt while also conducting a campaign to raise over $150 million in new money for the new campus and to boost endowment. I don't know how you define "fine financially" but that is a huge lift under even the best circumstances.[/quote]

Yeah - the problem is that this great opportunity to buy and unify the campuses came along, but without the money to carry both campuses for a long period.  Now they're in the pickle of turning to current families for money for a new campus that they may not get to enjoy, given how far out it is.

COVID clearly hasn't helped, because like everywhere they had to spend $millions for COVID related upgrades (which, given how little on campus activity there has been, probably was a waste).[/quote]
