<p>@NEPatsGirl My gearbots prefer the cold too. Must be some genetic hardwiring. And I don’t think the future is bleak for them. They’re just cutting the fat and will find an equilibrium and rebrand as a metro university at a great location (which is their plan). With other state universities in NE increasing tuition to the breaking point, saving 40 or 50K in Portland will become more attractive.</p>
