[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Development folks from GDS are really pushing it.

I guess they've got to pay for that new addition.

Bad time to take on a ton of debt.  [/quote]

Why? They could just take a government bailout like Sidwell.[/quote]

GDS passed on taking a loan although the school certainly qualified.  Mindful of their social justice tradition, the school believes that others are more deserving of the federal financial assistance.  And while this period of economic uncertainty presents short-term challenges for GDS like many other instituons, the school’s finances have been managed very prudently.[/quote]

This is a bit of revisionism. GDS initially intended to apply for the PPP but saw the wave of criticism crashing down elsewhere and pulled their application. While there are certainly many in the GDS community who walk the walk on equity, there are even more who care more about perception than reality. It makes for a perverse environment. [/quote]
