President Jackson the Focus of Major Times Union Article

A major article on President Shirley Ann Jackson was published in Sunday's Albany Times Union. The article summarizes her three year tenure in the position including the successes, such as fundraising, and the controversies, like the change in Graduate School tuition and some of the more controversial elements of The Rensselaer Plan.


The article quotes Howard Isermann '42, an RCNJ member and an RPI trustee emeritus as saying: "Some people don't like her top-down management style, but it's her vision and she wants to make it happen." Lots of other juicy information and quotes may be found in the article. It's worth reading.
