@jlepawsky The KPMG report does show benefits, but without any reference to opportunity cost. I.e., CONA funding has a higher and faster ROI ... so if it's just dollar in for dollar out, MUN is valuable - but not #1.
The AG report (2025) is scathing; and to walk on campus.. rings true. That is a problem. That is *the* problem.
The 2023 AG report on compensation and admin fee is not as bad, but is also really bad.
MUN needs dollars, yes, concur ~ but they are not well spent.

@jlepawsky my kids are just now getting there, it'd be really great for me if tuition was as low as I had it, or perhaps even as free as my parents had it; And the MUN academic units and grads remain high quality by my measure; Would not want to see education meaning going to the mainland, as when MUN started; So I am sure we probably agree on where things should be. It's a admin problem, not a dollar problem. Perhaps recent changes will fix this. I hope I am just too cynical. :)

@CowMan We concur 😎 It's the power over those spending decisions that needs to be changed. That's about senior admin and BOR power --- we have to change how those works.
