In today’s Pope Center Clarion Call, Jay Schalin writes about the individual who has been chosen at NC State’s new chancellor — and how he was chosen.

We know that UNC system president Erskine Bowles likes Woodson, but the process has been so secretive that very few people in the state have any information about his views. The fact that he was behind a big “climate change” center at Purdue is disquieting.

Jay points out that North Carolina has the most secretive procedure for choosing academic leaders in the country and argues that we’d be better off with more openness. I agree.
