My personal experiences with him have been very positive. Has he made mistakes? Yes, but they aren't front page disasters as in the past. His mistakes are very low key to the point the local media cannot even blow them out of proportion.
I see a President who is using social media to stay in contact with students, alumni and the general NE Ohio community. I see him engaged with alumni at mixers around the country. I see the dorms are full. I believe athletics as a whole are progressing nicely. I'd hire a new Akron graduate if I needed someone. I believe the faculty is strong. It all points in the right direction.
