Subject: Umm that's exactly the point... HE IS THE PRESIDENT OF NYU AND NOT STANFORD... also we've been listening to profs and school people for four years, wouldn't be bad to get someone who lives in the real world and not academic world don't you think?
In reply to: SIram 's message, "I understand the disappointment of some Seniors at the lack of name recognition of John Sexton as Commencement speaker. However though he might not have the high public profile of an entertainment figure like Bill Cosby he is no less accomplished, having risen to a place of prominence in the academic world. I can see why honoring the President of NYU, a rival of Fordham could upset some Seniors but let’s not forget that his three degrees from Fordham show what an alumnus can achieve and without that connection I doubt we’d even consider having him speak. It is customary to honor high profile graduates and if he were President of Stanford instead of NYU I doubt anyone would complain." on Sat April 23, 2005 13:24:07
