Not intending to defend KS here, but the world of Higher Ed is changing rapidly and is focused on Engineering, Research and Applied Science more so than ever. SU is a traditionally strong Liberal Arts University and making a shift in focus to Research and STEM has been slow going. That said, we've regained some status as a research institution with the [I]R1: Doctoral Universities – Very high research activity [/I]grade from the [I]Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education[/I]. I would prefer that the focus be on creating a richer and better realized research environment than worrying about M Street or converting the Sheraton to dorms and closing South Campus, but I guess we can't focus on only one thing. I would think we could have made more headway on taking over SUNY Upstate or having a much bigger role there with an alum in the office of Governor, especially since she seems to support and endorse funding research environments (see GVI, Roswell Park, and the newly announced proposed CGT center on Long Island with Northwell), but perhaps she is more focused on not appearing to have favorites and the lack of Micron progress is slowing further Syracuse initiatives or potential. You really can't underestimate the lack of size/available space on campus (hopefully this is why the apparent urgency with South Campus) as well as the scale of the programs at other institutions that are outperforming us in these fields.
