President V. Lane Rawlins was recently the guest on Inside Olympia, an interview program on the TVW television station. TVW President Cindy Zehnder was host and interviewer for the in-depth conversation.
Topics ranged from strategic developments at WSU over that past six years to increased admission standards and the Regents Scholars to the influence of Clark Kerr on the president’s educational philosophy, in particular the belief that public education must be excellent. President Rawlins’ own education, career and his work in labor economics are also discussed.
