I know we all heard the flak over the Tennessee Board of Regents hiring Chancellor John Morgan, due to his lack of a terminal degree; but I had a chance to spend some time with him a few months back and a more likable person you will not meet. Lots of people are likable, you may well counter, but not put at the top of a major University system. However, if you add the fact that he knows how Nashville works, in every possible way, it makes him a powerful person to be there for TBR schools. At any rate, in my opinion, he demonstrates courage and absolutely nails the issue of higher education in this guest editorial from the Commercial Appeal:
