Wanted to let you know the money for the Village and future science building were allocated years ago, as these projects take many years from concept to plan to fruition. The Village, like all residence halls, is supported through the self-funded dormitory authority -- it's an investment in the students, planned by students, and from a monetary standpoint already collects revenue to sustain the project. The science facilities reflect the long-term growing need for math, science, engineering and technology teachers, plus scientists, engineers and inventors, recognized and called for from the federal government on down. These are investments that have already had money allocated for them, with the understanding they will pay off in the long run.
