Campuses popping up all over
Michèle Ouimet looks at the phenomenon of universities spinning off satellite campuses. Is this kind of uncontrolled extension and competition the best use of their money?

I can’t speak for the ‘uncontrolled extension and competition’, but I do know that building new is far cheaper than restoring old buildings in an institutional setting. It also allows universities to accept more students (i.e. be more accessible).
That being said, I am sure that the economics of the situation often get lost in the orgy of spending – resulting in busted budgets.
