Students should challenge Danko

JULIAN WYLLIE | Columnist

President James Danko may not want to admit this, but he is a businessman.

Should students be worried or concerned, frightened or skeptical?

Yes, they should, but not for reasons that you think.

Students should question if Butlers leader is considering their opinions when the university decides to make drastic changes.

In 10 to 15 years, Danko wants students to look back and believe their degrees are more prestigious and nationally recognized.

We need to make sure that we are up there with the other well-known, residential, private universities, Danko said.

Danko said that elite class of universities includes Georgetown, Wake Forest and Villanova.

Achieving this will not be easy, and students will experience growing pains as the university continues to make changes.

I think there will be inconveniences when new construction breaks ground in the coming months. I expect the cost of attending Butler University will also have to rise to fund any additions to campus.
