Message: [QUOTE="UConn9604, post: 1060567, member: 3825"] It's a general rule that until recently ALL governors over the years were unfriendly until the mid-1990s. Rowland and Malloy are the two biggest "friends" UConn has had since the 1950s, in terms of capital investments and attention. Rell didn't hit the gas but she also didn't hit the brakes, either. Neither was perfect -- under Rowland, the operating budget was cut in real terms even as the capital budget boomed, while Malloy's unions deal kept UConn from implementing about $30 million in cost savings that it identified through a consultant -- but both paid attention to the University for the first time in decades, despite each man's private school upbringing.
