- delete this biography of a living person and start over. This person is notable but slanderous content as well as implied wrongdoing based on limited evidence such as the ranking of Trinity before and after his tenure as president is original research puts Wikipedia at risk. Criticisms should be referenced in reliable 3rd party sources and not simply implied. RadioFan ( talk) 03:53, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

- Comment recent removal of OR and potentially libelous content have resolved issues with content in the article, however an admin should clean out history prior to this edit. RadioFan ( talk) 04:23, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
- STRONG KEEP Subject is currently in the news, and the criticisms are well referenced. Any future items which are not properly referenced should be removed. Doug ( talk) 01:31, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
- KEEP but revise. News coverage of him presiding over the suicide of a 114 year old college argues for notability. But revision needed for chronological order, and for selection of what is encyclopedia-worthy and what is not. ElijahBosley (talk ☞) 17:56, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
- Keep with changes and Semi-Protect The subject is clearly very notable, but the extent of the BLP violations that are being introduced by vandals is not acceptable. I have made attempts to clean up this article in the past, but it a number of ip editors with grudges against this person (this is a given considering his controversial status) have reintroduced it.
