@VCUpresident This is NO time to be spending wildly on real estate deals & building an athletic center. You are not head of a REIT. Your job is to foster academics & research. Period. @VCUresearch @VCU_CCTR @VCU academics & research & @VCU_Hoops r core strengths. FOCUS
$1Billion each year budget hits at a minimum. Hunker down. Focus on core missions of academics & research. Research BRINGS IN funding. Students too. Running up debt on useless unneeded athletic stadiums DOESN'T. washingtonpost.com/local/virginia…
Set priorities on @VCU academics @VCUresearch @VCU_CCTR This is NOT a time for real estate speculation. Put that ill-advised scheme on indefinite hold until at least 2023. You're paid handsomely & were brought IN to this position to focus on research & academics not real estate.
And of course @VCUHealth But not real estate. The next 2 years will have budget cuts. VCU ought to get out of the real estate development business. There is ZERO NEED for a stadium.
