Over 150 members of Oakland University Faculty gathered for an Open Forum with University President Dr. Gary Russi this afternoon. Members of WXOU, The Oakland Post, and myself were in attendance at the meeting.
I was very impressed with today's forum. Tough questions were asked of Dr. Russi. He answered every question openly and honestly in my opinion. Today's appearance was a big step toward changing the "isolated" image that is sometimes associated with Dr. Russi, and another big step in improving the lines of communication between faculty and the President.
Today's forum was a great jumping off point for my future interview with President Russi. I'm told by Oakland University Media Relations that a specific date will be nailed down very soon. We're planning to tentatively have Dr. Russi appear on my radio program at the start of the 2010 Winter Semester in January. More details on that, as they become available.
