Breaking News: South Campus to be Sold

In a long-expected announcement this morning, President Ransdell confirmed that The Western™ plans to auction the South Campus Community College in the next few weeks. Ransdell explained "The current financial crisis calls for some drastic re-ordering of our priorities. There's no way we can continue to fund our operations without a quick infusion of cash."

Local auctioneers "Absolute Auction" will handle the sale. "We believe that selling that educational unit will net something in the range of one to two million dollars."

Ransdell indicated that most of the money will be spent on new sculptures for the main campus, including a 20-foot tall statue of Big Red that will be installed in front of the Preston Center.

The Western™ plans to offer up the soda machines, all the office equipment, most of the faculty, and naming rights. The auction will not include the property itself, which will continue to house DELO and will also be renovated to make room for a mall.
