Retrieved [[AugustDecember 211]], [[20062007]].</ref>. Dalhousie is still facing serious financial problems, such as being unable to pay for millions in deferred maintenance of buildings and grounds. This is despite being the second most expensive university in Canada for an under-graduate degree. <ref>[http://www.macleans.ca Macleans Magazine] November 19, 2007 edition, P 118.</ref> In 2002 there was a month-long strike by the professors at the university demanding, among other things, that retiring professors be replaced by an equivalent new professor in hopes of maintaining the number of full-time professors, which had been declining for some years. The professors' demands on this issue were met.
 
The university is going through a building phase. A new building for the Faculty of Computer Science opened in October 1999 followed shortly thereafter by the [[Marion McCain Arts and Social Sciences Building]]. The [[Howe Hall]] residence was expanded with the addition of Fountain House and a new residence was also built, named [[John Risley Hall]]. The [[Kenneth C. Rowe Management Building]] opened in October 2005.
