He has mistaken wealth for money, and so have those who follow him. N.Y. As a graduate of Lindenwood in the late '70s, I was distressed to read the article regarding Mr. Spellman. Lindenwood needed some financial shots in the arm during my time there, and they needed a proper focus on education. It sounds as though they still need a focus on education. All I read about are land deals and numbers.
Numbers are important to any institution.
So is land. Just ask St. Louis University, Webster University and Washington University. I'm sure you could find some deals with those schools also. It just seems as though Lindenwood is so blatantly aggressive in their approach. It also seems as though Spellman is the type that sees only his vision.
