ABQCat said:Good stuff from the usual suspects over here. CDA's inverse counter-trolling techniques are in play and doing a good job. PR hasn't completely gone off the rails in his patented 'scorched earth' mode yet, but there's still time. A few posters are dancing around the answer but nobody has actually nailed it yet, which I'll do now. You’re welcome.
The MSU 5-foot-nothing President is staggeringly good at her job, and that is the common link in all the different elements of the dUMb decline and MSU's growth. I recently received a nice summary book highlighting the "What it Takes" capital campaign, and even without blue and gold colored glasses, the overall effectiveness is mind boggling. The effort went public in 2015 with a goal of $300M, and at the time of the recent announcement, MSU had raised $413M (and growing). Every aspect of the University is benefiting from this campaign including students, faculty, research, infrastructure and athletics. Cruzado has set the foundation for MSU to compete on a national stage in every element of the institution for decades to come.
I personally don’t see dUMb coming out of the current mess anytime soon and it will never come out of the current mess without landing its version of Cruzado. Sorry to be the one to deliver this downer over here, but there you go. Enjoy.
Bodnar is already better than the MSU president. And people at UM like him, as opposed to the MSU president.
