    That's fantastic news for a University that has a relatively low endowment compared to other schools of our type/size (big public school). The Rutgers Business School is already very good, and the move towards making it the best it can be is a smart one. Read one of the comments:

    "This is a good sign. A top notch business school on the main NB/Piscataway campus is one of the few opportunities Rutgers can really leverage to hopefully improve the university years and years in the future. A quality business school with top professors and infrastructure is can really help achieve the goal of making the university as a whole better. Graduates from a top school can make connections into industry, be placed into high paying jobs, and hopefully rise up the ranks to a time where they become part of the wealthy class. Hopefully some of that would flow back to the university in donations. Other fields can possibly provide alumni who become wealthy and will donate, but business is the arena where the possibility of cranking out really wealthy alumni (and many of them) exists. Mind you we can't just be an also ran biz school, have to strive to be and become top of the line and that will lead to great things for the future of the university as a whole."

    Again, fantastic news.
