<p>PolarBear, rather than dredging up this three-year-old thread, it might have been better to start a new thread asking people currently in the know how Brandeis weathered its financial hardships of 2008-09.</p>
<p>A lot of the information in this thread is out of date. And the university has new leadership since that time–both a new president and a new provost.</p>
<p>If you’re concerned about Brandeis, the living conditions, and the university’s financial condition, a new thread is really warranted.</p>
<p>Moderators, maybe it’s appropriate to lock this one?</p>
