What are the top three challenges facing Colorado or the institute you seek to represent?
1. Cost control
2. Affordability
3. Political correctness
What would you do to improve diversity at CU campuses by drawing in underrepresented students? Visit low performance high schools for motivational presentations. Call on big business personally to fund a “Regent Scholarship” to assist with matching funds.
University of Colorado President Hank Brown has given the university a C-plus for openness and accountability to the public. What would you do to improve CU’s image and restore public trust? Hold “town hall” meetings across the state. Allow a student observer from each campus. Foster an “ombudsman”/whistle-blower program for students and constituents.
