I get the sense that VT has prioritized fiscal responsibility

While other schools are happy to run up debt and take risks and make changes. Of course being smart with our money is not a bad thing. But I think we have let the money have too much influence on our decision making along with being naturally conservative with our strategies and growth. VT needs a mental shift more than anything else. Money and resources won’t matter if we don’t adjust our thinking first. ** Edited by HokieAl at 7/31/2025, 10:52:36 AM
