rd31,
You’re wrong, unfortunately, on a few points. The $3.5 billion is the size of the Yale Tomorrow capital campaign – which is raising money for the entire university, not merely the new colleges. The colleges – and the commensurate increase in faculty, library resources, etc. – will be paid for, in part, by the $500 million the Corporation tacked onto what previously had been a $3 billion campaign.

Also, don’t be so sure about the architecture. The university hasn’t said anything about that. The YD"N" has claimed, citing unnamed sources, that the colleges will be Georgian. But who the hell knows.
