From 2000 to 2006 undergraduate enrollment at GW grew by 27%, from 7,679 to 9,791. [2]
The value of the GW endowment has grown more than five fold over the past two decades to $1.1 billion on June 30, 2007. The endowment providers a 5 percent payout for each fiscal year, providing $46.3 million in 2007, a $12-million increase from 2004. [3]
Spring semester 2008 was the first time part-time faculty paid by the course received a raise since 1999 – thanks to the terms of your union contract.
