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

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

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

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

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

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.

As one of the country's largest land-grant universities, Ohio State must play a critical role in moving our country forward.
