Given the academic job market, they will have zero problems attracting quality and qualified professors.[/quote]

There is literally no more office space in my department’s building for additional offices and labs. I would love more colleagues and space , but I don’t think this is as easy as some of you are imagining[/quote]

Buildings can always be added, altered, refurbished,  etc. For an academic you have a very closed mind.[/quote]

You seem to be missing an obvious solution that requires no refurbishment or crowding of resources. There are many colleges in the US with quality faculty and students and there is an impending enrollment cliff. Why not just distribute the students among the vast number of schools with space instead of cramping them all into the same 20 schools to compete for tight resources?[/quote]
