The homepage logo now says: "The University of Akron", Home of Williams Honor College and not "The University of Akron", Ohio's Polytechnic University.  I found that interesting.

 

The Honor's College is growing...that plan was instituted before Scarborough was here, by the previous administration.  Now you do get to inherit things from your predecessor (both the good and bad).  The question is does the new person make it better or worse?

Hmm isn't the annual debt repayment on the stadium ~4 million? Convenient that's exactly how much they tried to charge in additional fees.
