Bennett College Taps Gates Official as President

Bennett College, a private, historically black institution in Greensboro, N.C., announced Thursday that its next president will be Suzanne Walsh, deputy director of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation's Postsecondary Success division.

This is a pretty easy prediction because there are always a lot of sick people on college campuses given the very nature of the activities that happen on college campuses. I know I am not the only instructor to look out over a classroom and see lots of empty seats as students are felled by one virus or another.  I remember a particularly bad bout of mono that caught five students out of twenty in a single class and would’ve resulted in a passel of incompletes if I gave incompletes. (More on this in a moment.)
