In response to A Western Bison
There has been a big shift in institutional support for the program with not much to show for it. (Yes, it could be better.) If we're going to do this, there has to be some urgency to right the ship.
Yes, there has been a shift in support, but Bucknell basically is still at the bottom for PL scholarship schools. Here are the most recent expenditures, much of which is the allocated value of scholarships:
Fordham University $7,060,178
Lafayette College $6,581,062
College of Holy Cross $6,162,749
Colgate University $5,899,143
Bucknell University $5,672,257
Lehigh University $5,301,592
According to these numbers, Lehigh is actually last - but I don't really believe that. In any event, BU has closed the gap from what it was two years earlier:
Fordham University $6,515,087
Lafayette College $5,499,462
Lehigh University $5,286,454
Colgate University $5,273,887
College of Holy Cross $4,775,965
Bucknell University $3,846,012
The gap that year was enough to make competing virtually impossible. It is still way too much, but at least the playing field is a bit less uneven now.
