<p>^ It’s ok eiffel13 Elon is not dependent on it’s endowment to fund campus growth. If you take a look at the ten year plan that just ended the accomplished everything early (despite the economic downturn), and finalized the new 10 year plan last year. </p>
<p>By the way the last thing you should be concerned about at any good school is the impact that expanding housing will have on on “funding” — Run the numbers *Elon has 8 qualified applicants for every opening so it’s not like they will be hurting for future students and for housing - each student at one of the houses at Loy Center (for example) pay about $5,000 a year x 13 students, so that $65,000 in rental income on a property that if it was fully financed would likely cost much less than $35,000 in total carrying costs… I’m not worried and I don’t know why anyone would consider adding assets that pay immediately dividends anything but a win-win…</p>
