It WAS well established, and doing a fine job at what it was about (a shitload of non-traditional learning, in essence) until the President squandered the money the institution had built up on an unrealistic pipe dream where she placed herself as the expansive visionary who was going to create a massive campus "with a beach" --and when it all started unravelling and the board started calling for her head, she skeedaddled.
No matter what way you parse it, that's how it comes out.
