Let College Leaders, Not Outside Parties, Lead

By JAKE B. SCHRUM

"Angela" is a Hispanic first-generation college student from the Rio Grande Valley region of Texas, located along the border with Mexico. An outstanding student in high school, she is well qualified to matriculate at Southwestern University, a private institution in Georgetown, Tex., where I serve as president.

Southwestern and Angela are a wonderful match. She is seeking an independent, broad-based liberal-arts education, which would normally be out of her financial reach.
