President Outlines Five Year Financial Outlook for Cornell
President Dr. Philip Secor presented a five year plan at a press conference detailing Cornell's financial status. He noted deficits totaling 143000 this year, tapped nonrestricted endowments, and urged enrollment quality over gimmicks to restore the college to financial health. He outlined projected enrollment around 900 to 1000, modest tuition increases, renewed aid packages, and a gradual faculty size reduction to improve the student faculty ratio from 10.1 to 1. The plan awaits Board of Trustees approval on February 13 with full details to follow.
