Whether you liked or disliked Jim Rogers, there was no better advocate for education. Jim’s honest approach and willingness to have healthy discussion on any subject matter, advanced education’s agenda more than any chancellor has done in the past. Without his leadership during this past legislative session, higher education budgets would have been slaughtered, pushing Nevada further into the stone-age.
Jim always did what was in the best interests of education. And as he put it, “there is no substitute for directness and clear concise honesty.” Because of his efforts, We are more successful in ‘growing our own’ for jobs in Nevada.
lasvegassun.com did an awesome article on the Legacy of Chancellor Jim Rogers. It is well worth the read.
