Bigger question/problem is how will we maintain our R1 status if our acceptance rate just skyrocted to 88.8 percent???

And when did this increase occur? I seem to recall it being 55percent

If we are bleeding money, how does R1 help us?

Fair enough.... one of those old addage's can we afford it, or can we afford not to have it.

P.s. are we really bleeding money, if lswho needed an extra 30 million for their library couldnt it be argued they are 30 million over budget amd bleeding money?

The only way they don't bleed money this year is if they always operate with a $25 million cushion.

$25 million or more was yanked from funding.

Good point. Since budgets go up and down, everywhere, in all types of fields, I fail to see how a budget shortfall in the future is an administrator in the past's fault or mistake
