  • GOOD INTERVIEW BUT NEEDED TO ADDRESS THE QUESTION

    Good interview with former University of Tampa Ron Vaughn but disappointed that he seemed to evade the question about implications stemming from the recent Supreme Court decision on affirmative action. Sounded like he offered a “safe” response but as an outgoing college president, I would have appreciated something more insightful.
