<p>^^ no, because Georgetown was in the midst of some plans for building new labs, buildings, renovations, etc., which they now don’t have the credit for. </p>
<p>I’ll give you this counter example only because I know it so well: JHU, on the other hand, is going to continue building new buildings, a $72 Million Renovation, a $30 Million new library and working on a new $2 Billion tech park in East Baltimore thanks to fundraising at a pace of nearly $1.5 Million per day, every single day, for the past 8 years. (About $3.74 Billion raised).</p>
<p>it depends alot on how well a university is able to fund its projects outside of the endowment, etc. Harvard and Yale were counting on their endowments to build a lot of new infrastructure. Georgetown was asking for a lot of money (loans i think?) to build new buildings. JHU was fundraising to get money set aside for each building. +, a lot of the JHU expenditures like on Research, etc, are covered through Government grants, like in the previous recorded year when government research grants totaled around $1.55 Billion.</p>
