Saluki Way Changes

The DE has a good article looking at major changes in the Saluki Way project from inception to current status. Funding, of course, is a major change. The ordering of buildings is the other major altertion. Current plans move a student service building up to first phase and bump a state of the art academic building to second (as yet unscheduled) phase.

I guess technically the money raised so far is pledged, since the BOD pledged $41.5 million in increased student fees and the city pledged $20 million in sales tax collections but I always thought pledges were more, well, voluntary on the part of the donors. While the $2 million anonymous donation announced during the ceremony was nice and the donor has the right to do whatever they want with their money, I can't help but think about the cash strapped charaties in the area.
