RISD is not running out of money. Their construction projects are funded from their sizable endowment and gifts, not from tuition. There is no evidence they are lowering standards for admission. I seem to recall you posted an alarmist item about finances some months ago. Do you have any new information to bring up for discussion? Regarding crime (you also posted on this today), RISD is not crime ridden. However both RISD and Brown (which is right next door) are not as secure from crime as some students might suppose since this is an urban environment (my daughter was mugged there some 7 years ago).
