Crain's editorial: University of Akron must go big or go home - Crain's Cleveland

A few months back, we penned an editorial praising Matt Wilson for the work he had done at the University of Akron after stumbling unexpectedly into its presidency. A few minutes before that piece went to press, though, news broke that Wilson was a finalist for the presidency at the University of Central Florida. The announcement, which blindsided many in the Akron community and forced us to make a last-minute edit to our piece, was the beginning of the unraveling of the Wilson presidency. For the third time in five years, the University of Akron was looking for a permanent leader. http://www.crainscleveland.com/article/20180506/voices01/160436/crains-editorial-university-akron-must-go-big-or-go-home
