Message: [QUOTE="OttoMets, post: 3194692, member: 716"] I recall that SU's Connective Corridor capital contribution was already-committed money. Details could be a little off, but I think SU agreed to the funding in exchange for New York State forgiving loans made for Eggers or SciTech construction in the '80s? People think it's a boondoggle, but at least the construction didn't represent any additional outlay in university funds. The real problems came from the huge administrative expansion, funny accounting, and some other questionable capital projects (some deferred maintenance, some stuff like the Warehouse purchase and Life Sciences/Newhouse III/Ernie Davis construction that I'm told sent the school's debt service through the roof).
