The endowment increased about $120 million or 35% during her seven years as president. Was roughly $300 million when she came in and is about $420 million now according to Wiki.
What success has there been in CT based on CT policies, leadership, academics, or business growth? Now in terms of businesses moving out, trucking companies doing well, and perhaps
the tolls were to get one more squeeze on the people leaving. First out of UConn’s control but needs a vast improvement is attracting companies to move here for economic reasons. We used to be in the top 5 for U.S. manufacturing, then we became blue, shipped our jobs everywhere else, used bribery as a policy to get companies to stay, and stated these jobs are not the jobs we want, we want to be hi-tech. And how did that turn out? Silicon Valley is still the hi-tech place to go. So although there is some research happening, for the most part it is more attractive to do elsewhere and we lost what we once had by not fighting for it. So let’s not make America great let’s not make CT great, but you can stay here, me i’m Counting the weeks I have before i’m in NC. Good riddance and for those praising the blue please stay and enjoy your poo pie!
BINGO....
No attack BlueDogs but you used UConn, economic (economy) and Connecticut in the same sentence. Do you and those that think the same have any idea just how close this state is to bankruptcy???
Any blue state right now that has no major natural resources (like oil, mining (metalic ores, potash, coal) agriculture, shipping, lumber) or even tourism to fall back on and is raising every category of taxes at the rate like Connecticut, can expect to be in the same trouble soon. New York and Illinois are fast working on that. Connecticuts great resource over the past 80 years was it's manufacturing, it's corporate hubs, and it's blue collar work force, but tax, tax and tax of all kinds destroyed that. Take a drive this weekend down rt 34 through Oxford, Seymour, Derby, over to Ansonia and Shelton and see all the empty warehouses and manufacturing plants. Even venerable Sikorsky Aircraft was about to leave until Governor "tax everybody and everything" Malloy realized it would be a political mistake for the Democrats to let them leave.BINGO....

Again no mean spirit here but do any of those that think UConn sports are the Holy Grail (as I do myself) realize the med school is millions in debt and has been for some time? They made it bigger and better but it still is losing money at a rate faster than us fans on our beer tab. I am surprised Susan stayed as long as she did, while giving it her best at trying to bleed a rock.
I'll not disagree with your opportunity to get somebody better comment, obviously there is that chance. I will say in my opinion the odds of that are about the same as our football team being in the NC picture this year. Every one with any knowledge at all sees the writing on the wall. It will take a very optimistic ladder climber to want this job. We can only hope he / she has what it takes. I hope your prediction is right!
NC will soon be the next CT. It is only a matter of time there before things change greatly. Don't think that everyone moving to NC is going to be contributing to their economy. Right now the GOP is in control there and is able to control things, but soon there will be a need to raise taxes, there will be a need to provide welfare, and things will change greatly. You will have, however, a temporary stay, until you will have to move again.What success has there been in CT based on CT policies, leadership, academics, or business growth?

It's unfortunate that other states have turned to corporate welfare to entice businesses while hurting their residents. It's the prisoner's dilemma.
Yeah, me either. And I taught Exit 4 everything I know and he still claims to know nothing.
Yup. We have a “beloved” Governor who will be unemployed next year. I’m guessing he will make a play for this job as his reward. Some other major universities have a ex Gov as their prez.
I don't think the BOT would give him the time of day. I say only one man can do the job..........
I wouldn't bet on her teaching PS at UConn-Stamford. Rather I'd bet she won't even reside in this state 3 months after she relinquishes power at Storrs.

We suffer in comparison to the schools in our immediate area... Harvard, Yale, Brown, Columbia, MIT, RIT, WPI... starting to see the problem? This is where all those researchers have been going. No one else has those problems.
