SIPA needs to get a handle on technology issues. Primary focus is reflecting on the fact that the school has no endowment. There is a committee working on development right now. We ve just scratched the surface. There s the beginning of support coming from the main school.
Students do reconsider coming here in part because of the financial situation.
There is a definite need for more merit based scholarships. Would love to meet with students to talk about development. Also would like to focus on faculty development and improvements that need to be made in the physical structure. If the place looked better, people would feel and act better. Plus we have a number of faculty going on leave.
