    Complain all you want, but donations for brick and mortar are always going to be an important component of new construction. Now Ladd Hall, that's a different story. That's asinine for health and safety reasons.
    This had to be in the works for awhile. I think the matching money from the state expired on Jan 1, so this must have be finalized before that. Or maybe I'm completely wrong.

    This $4.5M provides student schollys for like 80 kids a year for as long as the endowment is in place "in perpetuity"...theoretically forever. This is a major major major deal!

    Earlier this fall I traded my 13 year old skidsteer in for a new one. I decided on a bobcat (like the old one) and now I'm doubly glad I did the business with them.

    The donation was not on hold just the announcement. This at the request of the donor.
