We also have a 500M debt to consider. All the more reason we need to start planning it soon.

When you do it per undergrad we are well ahead, since they are about 1,500 undergrads larger than we are.
Nonetheless, I totally agree we need to get above 2billion, and in view it was a mistake to not focus on this as a larger part of the last campaign. We won't get our reputational rating up until we have a larger endowment. One non building area we really moved up was endowed professors - that was embarrassingly low and is now in very solid range.
Que mrydel with comment on endowed professors (or lack thereof) in 4..3..2..1..

I noticed that between June 2012 and October 2014, they raised $197 million. Of that, 46% was for facilities. I wonder how much that compares with SMU's recent campaign. Also, 42% of those funds came from foundations and corporations. Dallas ought to have more foundations and corporations and those sources may be a bit more loosely tied to undergraduate enrollment than alumni, family and friends.
