To quote: "A year and a half of study, discussion, and hard work ended last week..." You have got to be kidding me. This is what we're wasting resources on at BU, while you've got classrooms with 20 year old AC units rusting away in their windows, faculty offices with radiator leaks that take months to fix, elevators in office brownstones that regularly break down, and staff salaries that pale in comparison to even other colleges in the area, never mind corporate entities. I would be very interested to see a breakdown of man-hours spent working on this project and the amount of money paid out to complete it. I'm sure it'd be more than I make in a year, probably more than what I make in a couple of years (and I do all right, for a BU employee). You could have probably replaced every junk AC unit in CAS and the offices on upper Bay State Road and had money left over for some new office furniture, and in the mean time, gotten a couple of CFA or COM design faculty to work with Marketing and Communications on this little project. But no - that line through the middle just HAD to go, didn't it?
