I'm with a lot of other folks here, in that the article aligns with a lot of what I've seen of the industry (and my wife is a professor). The idea that universities are going broke is put to the lie by the fact that so many of them keep building new buildings for some reason! These are multi-million dollar affairs, and are not usually new dorms, it's facilities which other facilities which already serve the same function just fine but which might be 15-20 years old. Giant budgets are spent building new buildings which are not needed, and do not improve the quality of education in any way. The stories I hear from my wife are exactly the same as I see happening with my own alma mater. Both are private colleges, but I've heard state schools do this too.
