<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
