When I was invited to talk about the state of N.C. State
The reason was the other panelist at the taping: Dr. Jim Martin, a chemistry professor who is Faculty Chair at NCSU.
He was candid, forthright and obviously determined to do the right thing. There was no dodging, denying or defensiveness.
Those qualities have been sorely lacking to date in Holladay Hall. And I doubt the stonewalling mindset has been eradicated yet.
When Cullen Browder asked me what advice I would give the university, the answer was easy: “Do what Jim Martin says.”
The university should take a lesson from one of its tenants on Centennial Campus: Red Hat, the home of open-source software. Openness solves – and prevents – a lot of problems.
