RE: W&M Medical School - EVMS merger
Wake Forest just merged its Medical School and Hospital with Atrium as they couldn't go it alone after more than 50 years. This train left the station a long time ago and to think that WM could enter this business now doesn't make a lot of sense.

The biggest leadership mistakes WM ever made were letting VCU and ODU spit off and become stand alone institutions. We not compete with those schools for State Funding rather than find ourself the "crown jewel" of a system of 3 campus' with 50K students. We are wise to stay away from a conversation about adding a medical school to WM.

Of course you dont make money off of the students. The money is made in scientific grants and patents as well as by the many alumni with high-incomes who can then donate back to the school.Teaching hospitals are no longer typically owned by the medical schools either, but instead have been sold off to corporate chains, who usually invest in the school and pay many of the salaries of the staff and physicians. Sentara already owns the main teaching hospital of EVMS. If medical schools are such dead weight, why does every major university in the US have one? Are we more similar to Bucknell or Duke, JMU or UVA? Talk about losing out on being a crown jewel...we are letting one of the ONLY ways "up" slip away.
