In order for the business school to be competitive it needs facilities ! It has also been paying the freight and then some back to Rose Hill to offset losses, the football team to whatever. It now longer is a competitive program given the financial draining that has occurred under President McShane. Guessing that they are worried about losing a cash cow given it’s current state. Science however needs new facilities too, problem is Fordham has no money and is losing money at the graduate level. Law is a problem as they have cut back enrolment to save face in the rankings, law school overall is a huge problem nationwide. Fordham timed the opening of their new law building perfectly to coincide with a massive downturn in law school admissions. In my opinion Fordham will fall across the board in all rankings as it no longer can raise undergraduate tuition. The value of a Fordham degree is depleting.

Ummm regarding the business school, it is helping fund most areas of the university as they are skimming it. At the graduate level of business the university has been grossly depleting net tuition revenue for decades. The GSB grad program has 11 Master of Science programs loaded with full paying Chinese students, GSB graduate school is a massive program. They are not getting their monies worth by any stretch given what is taking place in terms of revenue transferring to other programs. Fordham has woeful planning and operates as a 95% tuition revenue based university. As well, Father McShane’s constant Jesuit greatness theme, played out almost thru the speakers in the homes and classroom like N Korea or something turns off potential candidates. University is stuck in the past, McShane should step down as he is all about liberal arts and of course Jesuit preaching.
