Facing financial pressure, University considers selling graduate residence hall - Robin Eberhardt and Jeanine Marie, GW Hatchet

The Hall on Virginia Avenue was set to undergo a $35 million facelift that would have transformed it into a more modern space to attract top graduate students and faculty, before officials announced they may sell it last week. After graduate enrollment numbers fell below projections last year, officials made 5 percent cuts to administrative divisions across the University. http://www.gwhatchet.com/2015/11/15/facing-financial-pressure-university-considers-selling-graduate-residence-hall/
