Dively gets expanded role in McGinn administration

Posted Fri, Dec 11, 12:37 p.m.

Great, smart decision on the part of the McGinn administration. They will now retain in inordinate amount of institutional history and have an effective leader with unquestioned integrity. Good move. My only concern would be diluting Dwight's focus on finance with the breadth of this set of responsibilities. Mike Waller

Two cheers for Ron Sims

Posted Thu, Oct 11, 10:03 a.m.

Maybe it's the company you keep!: As usual David provides interesting insight.
