So if a college education is indispensable, the challenge as I see it is how to make it more accessible.

I am not a scientist. I have never analyzed the far reaches of the solar system through the lens of a telescope nor scrutinized cancer cells under a microscope.

When the fabric of the universe becomes unknown, it is the duty of the university to produce weavers.

The Ohio State University has a rich - if quiet - heritage of the arts.

I am a bit odd. I am somewhat evangelical. But I am not crazy.

I often have said that to be a college president, you need a thick skin, a good sense of humor, and nerves like sewer pipes.
