<p>To clear up a few factual slips:</p>
<p>Looks like they are trying to increase undergrad class size by a lot to try and bring in money. They submitted a 10 year plan that stirred up a lot of neighborhood ire by offering a “voluntary” cap of 20,000 students for undergrad without any new housing.</p>
<p>Definitely not. Under the existing plan, the Full-Time, Traditional
Undergraduate maximum is 6,016 students. The proposed plan changes around some of the definitions: under the new method, the University includes part-time as well as full-time students and has narrowed the definition of undergraduates considered to be “non-traditional:” - only students in non-degree programs, students in the School of Continuing Studies, and students returning for their second degree in nursing will be excluded from the Main Campus Traditional Undergraduate Program Headcount. </p>
<p>The proposed new headcount is 6,675. However, the difference between this and the prior figure of 6,016 is based entirely on changes in definition. Absolutely no growth in traditional undergrads is being proposed, and the overall number is nowhere near 20,000.</p>

<p>Heard they want 2500 more students within a couple years.</p>
<p>Proposed growth would consist entirely of graduate and School of Continuing Studies students (some of the latter would attend classes at a new location in Dupont Circle, rather than on Main Campus). There is no proposed growth in undergraduates.</p>
<p>The TOTAL Main Campus proposed student cap for all types of students (graduate, undergraduate, second degree nursing, etc.) is now 15,000 - down from the originally proposed 16,133. However, this is really only a decrease of 133, since 1,000 of those are School of Continuing Studies students who will be moved from Main Campus to Dupont Circle.</p>

<p>yet one major business publication rated it a “C” for facilities</p>
<p>That was definitely prior to the opening of the Hariri Building.</p>
<p>Not to nitpick but the Business School was a complete $75million donation by the Hariri family</p>
<p>Not quite - the naming gift was $20 million. The remainder came through a combination of direct giving designated for building construction and other sources. The total cost of the building was about $82.5 million.</p>
