Sunday's paper featured advice for new University of Minnesota President Eric Kaler from six people who have a stake in the U's work.
Sen. Claire Robling told him to toss the goal of being one of the world's top three research institutions. Jim McCorkell, of Admission Possible, asked him to keep the U affordable for low-income students. Grad student Abou Amara urged him to keep the U Law School on public funding.

I will feature a few comments from below in this space throughout the day, as well as on Twitter.
