Yes. Not all that revealing an article, but an interesting glimpse into the Prez' thinking. My Dad was a prof at Uconn for about 50 years and I grew up watching him react to the various changes as Presidents came and went. Generally I got the impression that Uconn hit about 50/50 between good and bad. I think he would have found this one to be on the Good side of the equation.
Students seldom have the perspective to evaluate the administration as academic change generally is a slow process, but a bad president can really sabatage a university for a long time even after he/she is gone.
