New Leader Gives Troubled Paul Quinn College a Makeover

by Associated Press , October 22, 2007

Sorrell does not want to change the school in the slow, careful, committee-heavy fashion for which colleges are known. He wants to change Paul Quinn now.

"I am never going to be an academic," he said. "They are very staid. They are very academic. They wear tweed. There is a place for those guys and I respect them and I am awed by them.

"But that's not what my school needs and that's not what this community needs. They need someone who will roll up their sleeves and fight fight for their students and fight for the school."
