I believe that it is higher education's purpose and calling to keep open the door to the American dream.

You can’t trust those damn Catholics.

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

Being president of a major public university is the most political nonpolitical office around.

People look at me like I'm crazy when I say that our greatest partnership here at Ohio State should be with the community colleges.

A truly great university is a nucleus of artistic expression. It fosters creative, critical thought, and serves as a platform for civil discourse.

To be sure, American higher education is a diverse ecosystem, comprising institutions of all sizes, price tags, and mission statements.
