Good news: PA picks experienced administrator over political hack to run PA.'s public universities

http://www.philly.com/philly/education/20130808_Fla__university_system_head_named_Pa__chancellor.html

The board that oversees PA.'s 14 state-owned universities has chosen the former head of Florida's public university system to head the PA system.

This is particularly good news because it appeared that Corbett was trying to install a political hack with no experience working inside a college as head of the system. PA's system is the 13th largest public university system in the US.
