See my above post, the goal of educating is education, not building and increasing tuition and enrollment.Money for Construction projects and money used for teaching/advising are apples and oranges. All construction projects are funded by “one time money” be it through bonds, the state’s cash reserves, private gifts, etc. cannot use that one time, non-recurring money on teaching and advising that needs money every year
but as another poster has pointed out, a nice, updated campus boosts growth which in turn provides more recurring dollars for teaching and advising
