Minnesota State Colleges and Universities trustee James Van Houten tells MPR’s Tim Post why the choice of Steven Rosenstone for chancellor was very risky:
My concern is if there’s a big learning curve to get ready to carry out whatever those visions would be, they’re not going to be implemented very quickly. I think the board just has to be aware that we need a different style with this particular choice.
(Van Houten ended up voting for Rosenstone.)
