OK, when are we going to see any investigation of where and when the Capital Campaign got deserted?? Hattiesburg American, will you perhaps have something on this? We are willing to help with HA efforts, if you need interviews.
Is money being wrongly diverted? Have they left this campaign effort to die in the dust? Are the numbers given for grant dollars accurate, and who can say so? Who is due the credit, really, for any recent grant dollars? AND, how does that help the students of Mississippi whose tuition is apparently going up again? Really - why would the choose to go to USM???

There are only two answers to this question now: cost and location. At present, USM is still cheaper than Ole Miss or State. At present. I'm sure the IHL faction that is determined to destroy USM will find a way to "equalize" tuition across the universities soon & they will tout this as a great progressive move.
With all due respect to the USM faculty, very few students pick USM because of its outstanding academic or research reputation. They pick it because it's affordable & close to home.
