I cleaned floors and toilets.” “Without that, it’s really impossible to do major things at universities because the faculty simply won’t let you,” he said.

“We believe we have a very, very strong critical mass of of excellence on our campus in the area of medicine, sciences, and the area of engineering,” he said.
