Untitled[edit]
Are all presidents of colleges notable, or is there something special about this one? Rklawton 16:44, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
- Roush is the current president and has greatly expanded the endowment, and has ambitious plans for the next decade in terms of student enrollment. Has played an integral part with one of the new buildings on campus, as well as the 2000 Vice Presidential Debate to the school (a major part of the college's history). In perspective of all the presidents of the college, he won't be remembered as by far the most significant, but certainly a big player.Arwcheek 19:32, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
- I'm not sure these achievements are notable in the encyclopedic sense. It may be more logical to merge this article into the school's article. Unless, of course, there's more to Roush than what's in this article so far. Rklawton 19:58, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
- It could be merged, but I have to say, there are lots of university presidents on here with just a brief sketch. I'll try and pull up some more information on Roush before going any further. Arwcheek 04:03, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
