In 2003, a newspaper article caught the eye of New London city manager Thomas Brown. Students from Poland who worked summers at the Mohegan Sun Casino were being housed in Connecticut College dormitories for $10 a day.
To Brown, this seemed like income not connected with the school’s educational function. Investigating further, Brown found the college rents its ice skating rink, Dayton Arena, to house the Southeastern Connecticut Home Show, and earns $15,000 to $20,000 annually, according to an affidavit he filed in the college’s lawsuit challenging New London’s decision to start taxing the Arena in 2003. It’s the first time college property has been deemed taxable since it was founded in 1911.
