If the board wants to work with McClain for the next three years, I'd say let's move forward together.

We really want to see what the difference is between the way a permanent president deals with the different constituencies opposed to an interim president.

My first reaction is that the students weren't a part of this process. It is very alarming that we were not involved. But we look forward to working with a permanent president and seeing how they deal with the separate constituencies on campus.

The best people are found when we go out and search for them.

My early work is the result of going around that very territory where I lived and not seeing it.

Jerry has been great to work for as a principal, because he is a good friend as well as a leader that takes care of his people. He is the type of principal that knows all of his students and parents by name.
