<p>boat, I have had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Ayers on a number of occasions and I thoroughly enjoy him as a person. He is extremely approachable and a very humble man. I am a huge fan of the school as a whole, and a big fan of our athletic programs, so it’s fantastic to see Dr. Ayers at things like the A-10 basketball tournament in Atlantic City leading cheers.</p>
<p>I believe that he is a tremendous asset to the university and is a major improvement over our last president. </p>
<p>There are a few issues that I disagree with him on but in general, I am very pleased with the way that he has run the school thus far. He has the opportunity to leave his mark on the school with his Master Plan (<a href=“https://masterplan.richmond.edu/[/url]”>https://masterplan.richmond.edu/</a>). </p>
<p>In my opinion, his legacy will largely depend on the success of raising the capital to see it through, his ability to navigate the current athletic climate (along with our AD), his ability to continue to make UR affordable to a larger percentage of the population while maintaining the academic standards and emphasizing a balance between school/life for the undergrads.</p>
