Public trust is in collapse, the core curriculum looks like a Cheesecake Factory menu, the math doesn’t add up, and college football looks a heckuva lot like professional football.

Voices: Public universities should help rebuild our civic culture. A new effort at the U. will do just that.
I graduated from the University of Utah in 1968. Like so many alumni, I carry with me not only memories of a campus and a community, but a durable lesson about what a great public university is for: to educate, to discover and to serve the public good.

Gordon Gee, Stephen Gavazzi and Marco Greenberg column: Reframing that college rejection letter
By Gordon Gee, Stephen Gavazzi and Marco Greenberg High school seniors are shut in at home, forced out of class and cut off from physical contact with their friends due to the coronavirus. If that’s not enough stress, they are also dealing with the pressure of which college they will get into. Unfortunately, it’s an ongoing problem, one that will not end anytime soon. For a generation, students have been plagued by fear, uncertainty and doubt during this annual spring ritual of college admissions.
The wild, wonderful, complex, misunderstood image of West Virginia (Daily Mail WV)
In December 2002, thousands of Mountaineer fans hopped onto I-77 South, called by some the “Hillbilly Highway.” Destination: the first ever Continental Tire Bowl in Charlotte, North Carolina. Most have forgotten the final score in this battle of the Virginias (University of Virginia Cavaliers, 48; West Virginia University Mountaineers, 22), but none of the 75,000 or so fans will forget the halftime show.

Gordon Gee: Celebrate WVU’s legacy by imagining the state’s future
In February 1867, Nebraska, Wyoming, Utah and 12 other territories had yet to join the United States. Secretary of State William Seward had yet to even commit the “folly” of purchasing Alaska.
