BU has wanted that for over 30 years. I'm not holding my breath!

It would but there is no mention of a new COM building there. If they were to use the existing BU Academy building it would be just another makeshift facility for COM. And where would BU Academy move to? COM is one of the top communication schools in the country, yet BU treats it like its...
