By Shelby Brown–
The listening tour drew more than 80 people ready to discuss qualities they’d like to see in the next president of U of L. At the Jan. 18 session, speakers expressed the desire for candidates with an academic background.
Professor Avery Kolers said U of L’s next president must have roots in faculty and understand academic freedom. Kolers mentioned threats of cuts to academic programs.
“A president has to come from the faculty to appreciate the importance of academic programs,” Kolers said.
