I can honestly say that - but lets skip politics as there are many opportunites on other boards for that. Lets just say the economy has been doing great for three years running now, so my biggest gripe with Bush he is not pushing that harder.
Your trustess are projecting your endowment increase over the course of the last year without moving anyone elses from the end of 2005 - statistically incorrect. We will know how it all ranks in January of 07 when NACUBO releases their report. Until then I will take the third party report. SMU has a larger endowment.
