I suggest that you remain neutral, and do not take any Districts. Teach your students with Pubs, and later FW. Once they are competent, you can seek out smaller corps who need bodies for their own PCs.
Then, once ISK transfer for DUST goes live, I'm sure you'd find rich corps and mercs willing to help you out with your cause.
Serve as a university, and make connections with the bigger stronger corps out there. They'll be happy to take your competent grads, and will compensate you for the effort.
No need to hold ground to make the ISKies, get paid for a specific service to the community, instead of competing in PC. |

No need to hold ground to make the ISKies, get paid for a specific service to the community, instead of competing in PC. What's wrong with them having a campus? One to three districts won't be making them much money.
I beleive that the competition will be pretty cuttthroat for the limited districts we have to fight over. DUST-U already has a unique niche as a neutral training corp. They will make more ISK from donations for providing a service to the community, while still preserving their neutrality.
If however they can somehow hold those few districts without appearing to take sides with anyone (good luck) then they can still retain the trust and goodwill of the New Eden community, and will still get those charitable donations (when it's possible). I find this unlikely however.
I for one, will not donate my ISK to a university that is directly competing with my corp over districts, but will donate if they are just helping new players into the game. I imagine there are many other people who share this view. |

If we're helping other corps, even small ones in their conquest efforts, how can we consider ourselves neutral?
A good point. You would have to freely allow your students to fight for any side they wish (even students on both sides of a battle), and Dust U could take no compensation for it.

Might I suggest that the leadership of DU (and indeed perhaps Ivy League) reach out to CEOs of the biggest corps out there. You don't necessarily need anything more than their assurance that their corp will support your plan to have a 'Training Planet'.
Indeed the street goes both ways. Provide quality training to prospective new Mercs and farm them out to big corps with the resources to use them and you will likely find those corps willing to provide ringers to protect your Districts from so called 'rogue' corps.
DU/EU fills a fundamentally necessary role in New Eden, the learning curve is exceptionally steep in the case of both games (sometimes I almost pity little redberries as I kill them two or three at a time.) A basic education and some mentoring is necessary for the majority of players out there who may be unwilling or unable to do their 'homework' and learn about this game. |

Most mercs wont stay once they are done with the training. You may as well make some ISK out of it.
While this may raise some neutrality issues its just another thought.
Also this ^
Essentially you are 'selling' your education, by providing competent Mercs to established corps.
Again as long as you don't favour one corp over another (perhaps bidding on mercs could take place)
you shouldn't have a problem with neutrality.
Also you may want to consider having guest teachers come in to teach. Would give them a chance to act as a 'talent scout' for their home corp as well. |
