[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Middlebury is a great school with a beautiful campus. They've had some financial issues over the last few years (mainly fueled by deficits from the Middlebury Institute of International Studies in California), but endowments is healthy $1.5B and they've raised $550M in their current capital campaign. New president starts July 1. Heavy on ED these days. [/quote]
I’d be nervous about the president change [/quote]

I actually think the president change is a big positive. Laurie Patton wasn’t a great leader. She wasn’t terrible it not anything exceptional. Middlebury doesn’t have any financial issues but they’ve had a nagging deficit because she was slow to address the MIIS issues. The new president won’t want that hanging over his head so it will get resolved. She waited too long to start the last capital campaign so the endowment is probably $150 lighter than it should be. She worked so hard at offending nobody that she won’t be remembered for much of anything.

The incoming has an excellent reputation so I’m hopeful that it’s a positive change.[/quote]
