Some Caribbean resorts have cut prices in half, while Elite Island Resorts - the second-largest independent hospitality group in the region - will even accept guests' depressed stocks as payment; the firm values stocks at their...
...remain closed during the summer, leaving students with two smaller, less centrally-located facilities: Hemenway Gymnasium near the Law School and the Murr Center, situated across the Charles River by the athletic fields. As part of the University’s sweeping cost-cutting measures, the initiative aims to slash expenses in the athletic department’s budget. But athletic administrators said the move would also cut back on the services that are usually provided by the MAC during the summer—such as an Olympic-sized pool and a host of specialty classes like salsa dancing...
