Inside Higher Ed: Nevada College Chancellor Asks U.S. for $3 Billion Bailout
Jim Rogers has never been accused of lacking chutzpah. But he may have outdone himself this time.
Rogers, chancellor of the Nevada System of Higher Education, has spent most of this year in a public (and one-sided) war of words with the state’s governor, Jim Gibbons, over the impact on the state’s education system of Nevada’s deteriorating economy. He has sent Gibbons weekly memos criticizing his policies, laying out dire scenarios that may befall the state’s colleges and schools, and not-so-occasionally insulting the governor.
