In today’s Pope Center piece Jay Schalin writes about the new president of the UNC system, Thomas Ross.

Ross is currently the president of Davidson College. He says that as UNC president, his focus will be on educational excellence. (Could he say anything otherwise?) Given his political inclinations, one has to suspect that his ideas about makes for an excellent university won’t exactly dovetail with those of Locker Room readers. The Pope Center will have more to report after Ross takes office early next year.
