Hopefully Ande is being tight lipped or doesnt know anything

Pray that this does not become “The Yager Continuum.”

The update Nick.

The September 16, 2025 board meeting didn’t shine additional light on the pressing questions we all have. Here are the relevant NOTES found on page 62 of 114. This is the “in planning” section of “status of capital projects report”. One change is the last BOT minutes (June 2025) suggested that the conceptual design stage would be completed in OCTOBER 2025. The most recent BOT notes suggest that has been pushed to DECEMBER 2025.

So, the outstanding tasks are:

(1) Update by the Site Selection Committee

(2) SLAM Collaborative’s conceptual design expected December 2025

(3) Update on firms providing “design-build” services should be completed and we are awaiting the decision.

NEXT BOT MEETING: DECEMBER 11-12

Clearly this BOT needs a stern talking to by Mr. Significant!:grinning_face::grin:

This is part of the problem with “academia.” There is no sense of urgency, no deadlines that stick, no accountability. There is a general feeling of malaise sweeping through the BOT…..wait until the next meeting…oh, why not wait until next year.

It’s the Yager Syndrome all over again.

I have to wonder if all the private money is in fact not there yet.

It’s almost like they take and embrace the worst parts of government

I’ve heard it’s a bit of a chicken and egg situation. Some major money would like to see formalized plans voted and agreed to by the BOT before officially pledging the money, while the BOT would like to see money officially pledged to the project before voting and finalizing.

I’m not sure what will give. Or if this is even the most accurate information on the current stalemate.
