What politicians are thinking about U-Minnesota presidential finalist Eric Kaler

Rep. Phyllis Kahn, DFL-Minneapolis, gives the Minnesota Daily an idea of the legislature's big expectations of Eric Kaler, finalist for the presidency of the University of Minnesota:

"I hope this guy is a super president," Kahn said. "I hope he meets everybody’s expectations. I hope he’s a whiz at fundraising. I hope he’s a marvel at dealing with the Legislature, with the regents, with all the factions he’s going to have to deal with."
