[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There must be some GDS-affiliated developers associated with this plan, but I still can't see how the trustees can approve it with so much expense for little/no extra space.[/quote]

Every one I talk to is very excited about the new, state-of-the art combined campus.  One person even described the deal as "brilliant."   I trust the Trustees.[/quote]

And one person I talk to called it "idiocy."

It's depressing to keep hearing "trust the Trustees."  Critical thinking, rather than mindless deference to authority, used to be a core GDS value.  [/quote]

No "mindless deference" here.  The Trustees are doing their job.  They are a highly accomplished and credentialed group of individuals and have put together a deal that is truly game-changing![/quote]

Ok, if that's true, outline the structure of the deal.  And use numbers.[/quote]

No doubt some of the details are still sensitive and confidential.  I heard from one person who is quite well versed that, with what the school expects to make from the MacArthur sale and the development rights/upside on Wisconsin, they are nesrly getting the consolidated campus for free.  If this is so, it seems  like a pretty smart transaction.[/quote]
