This is an extremely complex project, one that requires the master developer to have expertise in developing retail and housing as well as sports and entertainment facilities. We were very impressed with the proposals we received, but the Milestone team had the right combination of talent and experience that we believe will best suit our needs as a university.

This is a cut of unprecedented size. We'll try to work with the governor and Legislature, asking them to consider higher education as an investment.

Tuition is the last place we'll go. It's inevitable that it will go up some. The question is, how much?
