Why is UChicago so poor at fundraising?

Columbia, Penn, and Duke are all in the midst of major fundraising campaigns. I wonder when UChicago will jumpstart its next major campaign and why there hasn’t been a single campaign for the past decade or so.

Correction: Duke just announced a major fundraising campaign at the end of 2012 and it officially kicks off in the Summer of 2013 I believe. Obviously, the school has been securing commitments in gifts and donations for the past year as part of the “silent phase” of the campaign. I expect Duke’s fundraising numbers to be extremely high (probably top 5) when the CEA issues its report for the 2013 FY.</p>
