@xyz123a , agree with the assessment of the re-opening plan. Really solid. (Let’s hope it plays out well!) And whether it was marketing or otherwise, the school really went all out in placing kids who graduated in May. I think they understand hopes and expectations and are trying to meet them.

I don’t know DG personally. Most of the folks I know who work in higher education are pretty wowed by him. He has vision and he is executing… My guess is that he also has made some folks unhappy/angry with him. Change at this pace is hard to do without alienating people.

Whether you like it, think it’s overrated, etc, he is committed to positioning the school to succeed now and in the future. Increasingly, it’s becoming apparent that that is not going to be the case for many institutions.
