A lot of buildings around campus could use updates both inside
and outside. Plumbing, for starters, is **** in most of the
older buildings, as are the AC/Heating systems. I know the money
would be better suited towards better professors and equipment,
but modernizing the "little things" would go far away with the
student body.
This is fascinating news to see the endowment triple over the
next half-decade and change. Selfishly, I'm excited because it
will make my degree just a hint more valuable to a job one day.
But it's also really cool to see that a school on Long Island,
and not in the city, LA, Texas, or anywhere else, was spread
across numerous media outlets today (Forbes, NYT, to name a
couple) and for a good reason. And who knows, maybe,
justtttttttttttt maybe, because more money is coming in for
education, they'll earmark a couple more bucks for athletics.
Oh, who am I kidding, that'll never happen. But a man can dream.

I haven't read a single article about a penny of this money
going into athletics. Not one red cent.
Goes to show you how much this university prides itself on
athletics. Honestly, SBU really should just shut their sports
program down altogether. Or just drop back down to D3, like
Hartfotd recently did.

i agree with the above. this is good news.
of course, the U now has to play its hand right. we've muffed
that before.
i agree some infrastructure can use a facelift. you all know
this but i'd just as soon drop $10m into student life, if not
more. but that's me. and, if doing so, it has to be done
right. that one we've been wrong way virtually every time.
i just so happened to finish reading a book about simons just
today- a lot of good SB references in here! PS not a beginners
book on the topic.

you want me to decipher any of it.
also- i'd love to hear if anyone knows where exactly the office
was- was it next to the bench perhaps? ???

I loved the work Fiore did here. He would have taken us much
further. Performance is not the only criteria. Character and
integrity is also important. If we didn’t nip it in the bud,
more likely the athletic department would have faced multiple
lawsuits from multiple victims.

I don't disagree with you about character. Heilbrons character
is good but his performance is pathetic.

Good article but is anyone else a little confused/concerned
about why it was published nearly two months after the town hall
took place?
